I had no idea the day would turn into one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Dr. Saibal Mitra, my professor and mentor, had invited me to go flying with him in his private […]
Powering the Future: How Simulation Research is Revolutionizing Organic Solar Cells
In the quest for sustainable energy, organic solar cells (OSCs) stand out as a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based photovoltaics. Flexible, lightweight, and printable using low-cost processes, these next-generation solar technologies could one day coat windows, power wearable devices, or even be embedded into fabrics. But despite their potential, OSCs still lag behind in efficiency, […]
