A KAIST research team has proposed a perovskite material, Cs2Au2I6 that serves as a potential active material for highly efficient lead-free thin-film photovoltaic devices. This material is expected to lay the foundation to overcome previously known limitations of perovskite including its stability and toxicity issues.
A laser pulse that for a few picoseconds – i.e. one millionth of one millionth of a second- transforms a material into a high-temperature superconductor. Different experiments have unveiled this interesting phenomenon, with potential applicative implications.
Scientists led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered electronic properties in quantum-scale devices that are likely to impact the growing field of low-cost perovskite based optoelectronics.
What drives cells to live and engines to move? It all comes down to a quantity that scientists call “free energy,” essentially the energy that can be extracted from any system to perform useful work. Without this available energy, a living organism would eventually die and a machine would lie idle.
Quantum bits are now easier to manipulate for devices in quantum computing, thanks to enhanced spin-orbit interaction in silicon.
From a total of 650 entries the German Design Council selected HelioJet® Spectrumcc in the category “Excellence in Business to Business (B2B)”, section “Lighting Solutions”, for the German Innovation Award in Gold.
Yale scientists have created a new type of silicon laser that uses sound waves to amplify light. A study about the discovery appears in the online edition of the journal Science.
University of Adelaide researchers have created a laser that can “smell” different gases within a sample.
What is light? It seems like a simple question at first sight, but it has kept on captivating the hearts of great scientists for centuries.
Researchers have demonstrated large-scale fabrication of a new type of transparent conductive electrode film based on nanopatterned silver.
