Thanks @dumelelab.bsky.social & @markussuta.bsky.social for your kind invitations to Cologne and Düsseldorf - glad it finally happened and thanks for the great science chat and hospitality!!!:)
Wonderful as always to reconnect with friends from across the globe at this year's #MATSUS26 Spring Meeting @nanoge.org celebrating 10 years of #materials for #sustainable #development! :) Thanks to the D6 & C2 organizers for their kind invitations and see you all in Fall!
⚡Key topics at #NIPHO26: @sascha_feldmann studies ultrafast spin and chiral light dynamics in halide perovskites, while Marcello Righetto investigates charge transport and recombination in low-dimensional halides and perovskite-inspired materials.

Following an inspiring program at #NIPHO26, the community gathered for a group photo.
📸 Excited to continue exploring advances in perovskite photovoltaics, photonics and optoelectronics, from stability to scalable fabrication and interfaces.

Join us and a fantastic line-up of speakers in sunny Mallorca this Fall, if you like! @nanoge.org MATSUS Fall Meeting '26 ☀️ Abstract deadline approaching!
The 36th Conference on Quantum Solar Energy Conversion - QUANTSOL 2026 - in Rauris, Austria was an absolute highlight. Amazing place and people, highly recommend!
What a fantastic week in Costa Rica, as the International Conference on Energy Materials came to an end.
A massive thank you to the organizers Monica Morales-Masis, Marina Freitag, Pablo P. Boix & Filippo de Angelis for the invitation to see a country that runs essentially 100% on #renewable

We had a blast and I learned that a bowing lane in French is a “piste” just like for skiing;)

Chirality has recently emerged as a new means to profoundly impact the properties of organic semiconductors for spin-optoelectronic applications. Yet, a clear mechanistic understanding of chiral structure–property relationships remains absent to date, particularly for photon interconversion processes such as singlet exciton fission and triplet fusion. In this perspective, we highlight recent work that investigates chiral structures for these processes. We discuss the various ways in which chirality can impact such conversion processes and suggest ways to leverage it to improve photon management for both energy applications and quantum information science.
