Four Australian scientists have been awarded the world's most prestigious engineering prize from King Charles III for their pioneering research into renewable technologies.
Professors Martin Green and Andrew Blakers, alongside Jianhua Zhao and Aihua Wang, invented groundbreaking solar cell technology that has helped reduce the cost of solar panels by 80 per cent in the last decade, earning them the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering.
The engineers were recognised on Thursday night AEDT when King Charles III presented them with a 3D-printed trophy and an award of almost $A1 million.
