"When you slow down to see and feel the little details is when you get a real sense for the people here, the decisions to be made, and the stakes riding on them," shares Cate Osborne, who attended the United Nations' #COP29 through the support of Northwestern University's Buffett Institute. Osborne is a fourth year undergraduate student majoring in history and environmental policy & culture.

The lifespan of solar cells has been significantly extended, thanks to innovative research from a team at Northwestern University. A newly developed protective coating boosts solar cell stability in real world conditions. The study, co-led by Bin Chen, Ted Sargent, and Mercouri Kanatzidis, was recently published in Science Magazine.
