Greener Chemistry Brings Low-Toxicity Perovskite Solar Cells Closer to Production

Solar panels that can be coated onto thin, flexible surfaces could one day be made the way newspapers are printed, at room temperature and without the toxic chemicals the process has relied on, claim researchers from the University of Surrey.

What a Menorcan Goat Farm Reveals About the Future of Soil in the Mediterranean

At es Tonedor, in Es Mercadal, cheese is made the slow way. Unrefined sea salt goes straight onto the rind by hand, rather than the wheel going into a brine bath. The cheeses then mature for around two months at 11–13°C in controlled humidity, turned every two days, their rinds rubbed as they age.
