It is another example of how fundamental studies can lead to work with huge societal impact.”ĭr Sam Stranks, Cambridge University, added: ‘This is an important breakthrough. Professor Valeria Nicolosi, of Trinity College Dublin, said: “This is an exciting breakthrough which has the potential to transform solar power in the UK and overseas.
