Printed perovskite solar cells
Carbon-based perovskite solar cells were fabricated for the first time by infiltrating the perovskite precursor ink with inkjet printing.

Carbon-based perovskite solar cells were fabricated for the first time in room temperature environment employing inkjet infiltration of perovskite precursor ink. The fabricated perovskite solar cells exhibit impressive performance reproducibility with this automated method and show high stability when exposed to 35 °C for more than 1,000 hours. The work was done in collaboration between Aalto University's New Energy Technologies Group, Solaronix-Switzerland, and Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces at EPFL, Switzerland. The results were recently published in Advanced Materials Technologies journal.The article can be downloaded from the following link:

The short film filmed in Aalto tells about a student's difficult choice
The shooting of the short film Myötätunto III, funded by Aalto University's Oasis of Radical Wellbeing project, began in Otaniemi on March 17th. The premier is on May 30th as a part of the Green Minds, Healthy Hearts – Social Sustainability Symposium in Aalto University's Harald Herlin Learning Center.

Avatars and genuine interaction
Aalto University’s researchers are contributing to the creation of redesigned maternity and child health clinics and positive childbirth experiences in their research projects. The visions seize the potential of technology, such as childbirth simulation in a 3D-video conference using an avatar, a virtual character. On the other hand, the researchers would also like to hold on to the best practices from the past, such as the traditional child health clinic card, genuine human interaction and the rotina tradition, visits by family and close-ones to meet the newborn and bring foods as a gift.
