Quote from the article:

>With these innovations, the team fabricated a 1.09 cm2 flexible monolithic perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cell. Competing with top rigid counterparts, the device achieved an impressive stabilized efficiency of 24.6% (certified at 23.8%), one of the highest reported values for flexible thin-film solar cells to date.

>After 320 hours of operation and 3,000 bending cycles at a radius of 1 cm, the device retained over 90% of its initial efficiency, demonstrating exceptional mechanical durability and long-term stability.
