Willis Re is a leading reinsurance broker known for its world-class analytics capabilities. The new model is developed in collaboration with Willis Research Network partners at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Centre and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. Willis Re said the new model delivers a robust view of hail risk for the (re)insurance market.

Efficient Materials for Future Solar Cells – New Model to Determine Photoluminescence Quantum Efficiency In terms of efficiency, perovskite solar cells have caught up on silicon solar cells, but some of their properties are not yet understood completely. (Photo: Markus Breig, KIT) Perovskite semiconductors are considered promising materials for solar cells of the next generation. Suitability of a semiconductor for photovoltaics is reflected among others by the so-called photoluminescence quantum efficiency. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now developed a model, by means of which photoluminescence quantum efficiency of perovskite films can be determined exactly for the first time. This is reported in Matter (DOI: 10.1016/j.matt.2021.01.019).
