Shaping the skylines of cities all over the world, skyscrapers are not only aesthetically beautiful, but provide vital floorspace for offices and inner-city homes. However, drawing power from the traditional carbon fuel grid, high-rise buildings are notoriously energy inefficient, contributing to air pollution and carbon emissions in major metropolises.

Matthew Stone, NextGen Nano’s Chairman, recently suggested that organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells could play a transformative role in skyscraper construction, facilitating a switch from energy inefficiency to sustainability.

Matthew Stone Nextgen Nano Guided by the team’s vision of the ethical use of nanotechnology, PolyPower combines earth-friendly biopolymers with cutting-edge nanotechnology to produce low-profile, flexible, transparent OPVs with the potential for high efficiency. This technology aims to further decentralize energy production and consumption from its current market use. It seeks to go beyond conventional applications in energy grids, opening new markets such as electric vehicles; next-generation motor and marine vessels; planes and drones, and the Internet of things.

UK Matthew Stone Nextgen Nano has launched its new quantum division, aiming to develop materials for quantum applications that function under practical conditions. The division, led by scientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU), will guide the design of novel materials for emerging quantum technologies, like quantum computers and communication devices.

Matthew Stone NextGen Nano, chairman said: “Thanks to the team’s recent breakthrough, it might soon be possible to tailor materials to observe macroscopic quantum states at the highest possible temperatures. This new division will build on previous research success and is an opportunity for NextGen Nano to explore a new scientific space and exciting commercial markets.
