How extreme weather threatens to bring down the UK’s power lines and halt supply to homes
Extreme weather has damaged the UK electricity grid in recent years. Power lines have been hit, and substations have been flooded by heavy rainfall.
Dr Matthew Wright's work focuses on solution processed photovoltaics. Within this field, his keen interests includes optical analysis and characterisation of degradation mechanisms within these material systems. Since completing his PhD at UNSW in 2015, he has been working as a postdoctoral fellow.

Researchers are developing solar panels that still let through enough light to function as a window.
