31 March 202531 March 2025 Vijay Raman

Author: Noah El Alami, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Quantum sensors offer dramatically increased sensitivity compared to their classical incumbents or even enable new sensing capabilities altogether. Multiple industries are expected to benefit from quantum sensing innovations, including atomic clocks, quantum magnetometers, quantum gyroscopes, and more. However, bringing quantum sensors from a lab prototype to a commercial product requires optimization in their size, weight, power, and cost (or SWaP-C for short). As explored in IDTechEx's recent report, “Quantum Sensors Market 2025-2045: Technology, Trends, Players, Forecasts“, the most successful approach to achieving this…

Perovskite Photovoltaics Overcome Durability Concerns as Commercialization Begins

28 March 202528 March 2025 Vijay Raman

Author: Maia Benstead, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Commercial silicon solar panels typically have lifetimes between 20 and 25 years, setting a benchmark for competing photovoltaic (PV) technologies. To compete to the same degree, alternative PV solutions must demonstrate comparable longevity. Among these, perovskite PV has garnered significant industry interest due to its high efficiency, scalable manufacturing, and relatively low material costs. However, durability challenges have long stalled its commercialization. Now, several pilot and small commercial scale perovskite solar projects are underway, with many companies achieving panel lifetimes over 10 years and…
