Paper alert: accelerating optimization of halide perovskites!

Published:27.08.25 — Our article “Accelerating optimization of halide perovskites: two blueprints for automation” is now published in Digital Discovery. We present HITSTA, an accelerated aging setup that not only speeds up stability testing but also provides insight into degradation mechanisms, and ROSIE, a robotic ink-mixing platform that standardizes and automates solution preparation for systematic, high-throughput studies. Together, these open-source and affordable tools pave the way for faster, more reproducible perovskite research.
