PHYSICISTS BUILD DEVICES USING MINERAL PEROVSKITE When German mineralogist Gustav Rose stood on the slopes of Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1839 and picked up a piece of a previously undiscover... Read more
LED lights and monitors, and quality solar panels were born of a revolution in semiconductors that efficiently convert energy to light or vice versa. Now, next-generation semiconducting mate... Read more
Researchers have set a new efficiency record for LEDs based on perovskite semiconductors, rivalling that of the best organic LEDs (OLEDs). Compared to OLEDs, which are widely used in high-en... Read more
A perovskite solar module the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which is nearly six times bigger than 10×10 cm2 modules of that type reported before, has been developed by Swansea Universit... Read more
Some novel materials that sound too good to be true turn out to be true and good. An emergent class of semiconductors, which could affordably light up our future with nuanced colors emanatin... Read more
Field trials show that new catalyst material for electrolysers is reliable Efficient storage technologies are necessary if solar and wind energy is to help satisfy increased energy demands.... Read more
A University of Utah-led team has discovered that a class of “miracle materials” called organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites could be a game changer for future spintronic devices. Spintronic... Read more
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a new perovskite ink with a long processing window that allows the scalable pr... Read more
A U of T Engineering innovation could make printing cells as easy and inexpensive as printing a newspaper. Dr. Hairen Tan and his team have cleared a critical manufacturing hurdle in the dev... Read more
Extracting energy from multiple sources could help power wearable technology. Many forms of energy surround you: sunlight, the heat in your room and even your own movements. All that energy... Read more
