Nice @pvmagazine news article about our record-breaking 36.1%-efficient 3-junction silicon solar cell! @e_rmer @_amolf @FraunhoferISE pv-magazine.com/2024/01/26/fra…

🚨I am hiring! Are you curious of metal-free perovskites, and to understand the relation between structure and properties in these materials using advanced experimental techniques? 📌@VUamsterdam 🧪PhD Opportunity ⌛️Closes on 29-2-2024 Apply here: werkenbij.vu.nl/vacatures/phd-…

Accompanied by a nice News and Views from @srk_rodriguez and @sander_mann! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our paper on passive, bias-free nonreciprocal metasurfaces driven by nonlinear quasi-bound states has been published in Nature Photonics. @michele_cotrufo @AndreaCordaro2 @dsounas @albert_polman nature.com/articles/s4156…

It was a pleasure to write this News & Views, together with @sander_mann, about 2 recent papers on heat-assisted nonreciprocity. One from groups of @andrea_alu & @albert_polman, another from @mickeykats group. Thank you @rachelpcwon for the invitation! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Nice summary of the physics behind our demonstration of a one-way street for light driven by @michele_cotrufo @asrc_gc and @AndreaCordaro2 @_amolf initiated by @andrea_alu @asrc_gc published in @NaturePhotonics.

Excited to see our latest work published in Nature Photonics! We demonstrate metasurfaces that break Lorentz reciprocity and support asymmetric light propagation. Great collaboration with @AndreaCordaro2 @dsounas @albert_polman @andrea_alu @RochesterOptics @asrc_gc @_amolf

Our amazing research group at the @_amolf Christmas party!

Using a thin layer of nano-patterned silicon, a multi-institutional team of researchers has designed a device that transmits light unidirectionally and prevents incoming reflections, all without magnets. Learn more in @NaturePhotonics! bit.ly/3NpWvBx

Metasurfaces go non-reciprocal! ➡️⛔️↪️ We demonstrated optical metasurfaces with a large non-reciprocal transmission (~ 10 dB) for free-space radiation harnesing Si thermo-optic nonlinearities. Great experiment lead by @michele_cotrufo and @andrea_alu! nature.com/articles/s4156…

Congratulations to former group member and rising star in photonics @michele_cotrufo for this well deserved award! @RochesterOptics @asrc_gc mdpi.com/journal/photon…

Hot off the press ☀️ In collaboration with @FraunhoferISE we demonstrated a nano-patterned back reflector that traps light in a GaInP/GaInAsP//Si triple-junction solar cell. These results led to the recent record breaking 36.1%-efficient cell. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
