As we approach the end of another year, we would like to express our deep gratitude to all members of the Center for Innovation on New Energies (CINE) for a 2025 marked by extraordinary achievements. Throughout this year, we experienced truly special moments. We received numerous visits to the CINE Hub, promoting high-level scientific and technological exchanges, and we had presentations of research results by CINE members at national and…
In collaboration with scientists from Italy, two researchers from CINE have developed perovskite solar cells that exhibit excellent performance in transforming artificial light into electricity in indoor environments. These devices could provide clean and renewable energy for appliances used in homes, businesses, or industries, without the need for batteries. The indoor photovoltaic market was valued at approximately $1.2 trillion in 2023. However, indoor environments, with their low light levels, represent…
The first edition of Energy Week, an event that brought together the productive sector and academia at Unicamp to discuss the present and future of energy, had the participation of CINE on its organizing committee. The center’s main contribution was the holding of a workshop on entrepreneurship and three panel discussions that addressed challenges and solutions related to the energy transition, energy storage, and green hydrogen. Held by the Center…
More than 80 students and researchers from CINE participated in a workshop on the afternoon of December 1st, which generated important reflections on safety and mental health in the workplace. The event was held in a hybrid format, both at FEEC-Unicamp and online, and was sponsored by Shell. According to Mateus Giesbrecht, CINE’s Health, Safety and Environment Coordinator, these three issues are very important for all organizations, but in the…
