Prof. Manfredi, deputy director of the Mib-solar centre, recently published a paper on DSSC solar cells using green electrolytes (Deep Eutectic Solvents, DES) that for the first time were also tested under ambient light, with an efficiency of 8% under 1200 lux, higher than the only example in the literature that instead uses water as a solvent. The article was selected as the Inside Front Cover of issue 3, 2024 of

Dr Chiara Liliana Boldrini, the Milano-Bicocca solar energy research centre (Mib-solar) technician, reports a fine example of international scientific solidarity in an article on BNews, the blog of the University of Milano-Bicocca, published on March 21. Interviewed by Vito Bentivenga, Dr. Boldrini describes the successful adventure she underwent to make the profilometer used in the Research Centre work again after the failure of the PC that ran it. To achieve
