About the research
Imagine if cars, windows, or even walls would be able to generate power? New, flexible, and ultra-thin perovskite solar cells could make this a reality, but there's a catch. While perovskite solar cells have reached the same efficiency as the solar cells we know, they have a limited lifetime as they degrade under light and heat. Imec-researcher Wenya Song (KU Leuven) is looking to tackle this degradation to improve the lifespan of perovskite solar cells.

Fast and furious hearts: on a quest for a cure
One in 100 people suffer from a chronic heart condition. For example, their heart beats too fast even at rest, leaving these patients completely exhausted. Fortunately, surgery can help, but the procedure is risky and can lead to damage to the heart. To eliminate this risk, Rani Kronenberger (VUB) and her colleagues turn to 3D printing ...

How smart algorithms learn unacceptable patterns
Your next job or loan application might well be assessed by AI. But what if this AI is biased, and wrongly reasons that women are not fit for the job or singles should not get a loan? Carmen Mazijn (VUB) created a technique to detect discriminatory AI models.

How can we make airplane parts smart and healthy?
Imagine a world where planes aren't just checked, but they can actually tell us how they're doing! VUB researcher Zoé Jardon wants to turn this dream into reality by developing smart metal parts. Such smart components can tell by themselves if they are in good condition or not, and inform us about a problem and where it is occurring.
