III–V-on-silicon solar cells reaching 33% photoconversion efficiency in two-terminal configuration
10.1038/s41560-018-0125-0 2018-04-02 Silicon dominates the photovoltaic industry but the conversion efficiency of silicon single-junction solar cells is intrinsically constrained to 29.4%, and practically limited to around 27%. It is possible to overcome this limit by combining silicon with high... |

Estimation of the year-on-year volatility and the unpredictability of the United States energy system
10.1038/s41560-018-0121-4 2018-03-26 Long-term projections of energy consumption, supply and prices heavily influence decisions regarding long-lived energy infrastructure. Predicting the evolution of these quantities over multiple years to decades is a difficult task. Here, we estimate year-on-y... |

Rapid fuel switching from coal to natural gas through effective carbon pricing
10.1038/s41560-018-0109-0 2018-03-26 Great Britain’s overall carbon emissions fell by 6% in 2016, due to cleaner electricity production. This was not due to a surge in low-carbon nuclear or renewable sources; instead it was the much-overlooked impact of fuel switching from coal to natural gas ge... |
