Producing high-quality films for perovskite solar cells at industrial scale

Formamidinium lead iodide is a very good material for photovoltaic cells, but getting the correct and stable crystal structure is a challenge. The techniques developed so far have produced rather poor results. However, University of Groningen scientists, led by Professor of Photophysics and Optoelectronics Maria Antonietta Loi, have now cracked it – using a blade

A truly green alternative to PET (polyethylene terephthalate)?

One of the most successful plastics is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the material we use to make bottles and fibres for clothing. However, PET is made from petroleum-based building blocks. An alternative to PET can be made from bio-based furan molecules, but to polymerize these furans you need toxic catalysts and high temperatures. Now, polymer chemists

Saving beaches and money with natural seagrass

Seagrass beds are so effective in protecting tropical beaches from erosion, that they can reduce the need for regular, expensive beach nourishments that are used now. In a recent article in the journal BioScience, biologists and engineers from The Netherlands and Mexico describe experiments and field observations around the Caribbean Sea. “A foreshore with both

A real spin wave transistor gets one step closer

University of Groningen physicists have managed to alter the flow of spin waves through a magnet, using only an electrical current. This is a huge step towards the spin transistor that is needed to construct spintronic devices. These promise to be much more energy efficient than conventional electronics. The results were published on 2 March

Inhibiting an enzyme common to all animals prolongs lifespan in flies and worms

The lifespans of flies and worms are prolonged by limiting the activity of an enzyme common to all animals, finds a UCL-led study. The enzyme – RNA polymerase III (Pol III) – is present in most cells across all animal species, including humans. While it is known to be essential for making proteins and for
