Transaera tests its heat pump with metal-organic framework dehumidification in apartment building
U.S. startup Transaera will test its all-electric rooftop heat pump system in a multifamily residential building in Washington, D.C., with support from a $125,000 grant. The technology uses metal–organic frameworks for dehumidification and reportedly cuts energy consumption by around 40% compared with conventional rooftop HVAC units.

Spacebound silicon
Solar has a long history in powering satellites and space exploration, and high-powered devices based on multijunction PV cells made from “III-V” materials such as gallium arsenide or indium gallium phosphide have supplied this niche market as far back as the 1960s. But those devices are made with rare materials and complex processing, limited to small batches produced at high cost.

Hemispherical perovskite solar cell design reduces sensitivity to sunlight angle
Chinese researchers have designed a hemispherical perovskite solar cell with a textured surface to improve light absorption and reduce sensitivity to sunlight incidence angles. Simulations showed absorption exceeding 95% and an average maximum power output of 28.25 mW/cm² across incidence angles of 0° to 50°.
