Dr Shuaifeng Hu, Post Doctoral Fellow at Oxford University Physics, examining the new thin-film perovskite material. Scientists at Oxford University Physics Department have developed a revolutionary approach which could generate increasing amounts of solar electricity without the need for silicon-based solar panels. Instead, their innovation works by coating a new power-generating material onto the surfaces of everyday objects like rucksacks, cars and mobile phones.

June 16, 2024 - North Atlantic Ocean - Since May 2024, satellite images have hinted at a phytoplankton bloom developing off the coast of southeast Greenland. But a near-constant stream of clouds prevented optical sensors from getting a clear look. That changed in mid-June, when a short-lived gap in the clouds over the North Atlantic Ocean exposed the bloom's colorful swirls. The bloom is visible in this image, acquired on June 16, 2024, with the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA's Aqua satellite. The image shows an approximately 800-kilometer-wide patch of the North Atlantic Ocean centered east of Greenland and south of Iceland. The bloom stretches many more hundreds of kilometers beyond the edges of this image. Peek-a-Bloom in the North Atlantic, North Atlantic Ocean - 16 Jun 2024
