Hanwha Q CELLS to supply tandem cells for space solar power test on moon surface

Hanwha Q CELLS has entered a stage to verify whether next-generation solar cell technology can be applied in space in an actual lunar environment. Hanwha Solutions\' Q CELLS division said on Tuesday its German unit will join the NASA-backed space technology demonstration program SSTEF-1 as a project partner and provide perovskite-based tandem cell samples. Georgia Tech Research Institute will test the cells on a lunar lander surface under vacuum, extreme temperatures, ultraviolet light and space radiation.

KAIST develops virtual testbed to verify infrastructure performance without costly AI servers

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a simulator that can verify the performance and efficiency of large AI server infrastructure before it is built. KAIST said the team’s LLM service infrastructure simulator, LLMServingSim 2.0, won the best paper award at ISPASS 2026. The platform supports GPUs and next-generation hardware such as NPUs, PIM and CXL-based memory expansion devices, and is released as open source.
