The work will help researchers tune surface properties of perovskites, a promising alternative and supplement to silicon, for more efficient photovoltaics.
Researchers think they have a foundational tool for the thorny problem of how to measure and image the behavior of hydride superconductors at high pressure. By creatively integrating quantum sensors into a diamond anvil cell, direct readouts of the pressurized material's electrical and magnetic properties became possible.
Molecules that are induced by light to rotate bulky groups around central bonds could be developed into photo-activated bioactive systems, molecular switches, and more.
Researchers successfully conducted in-situ studies with a plasma generated inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This marks the first-time live SEM imaging while treating the sample with a plasma was achieved.
Researchers discovered that thin films of elemental bismuth exhibit the so-called non-linear Hall effect, which could be applied in technologies for the controlled use of terahertz high-frequency signals on electronic chips.
Novel dual energy harvesting device combines magnetic field and ultrasonic waves to safely generate over 50 mW - enough to swiftly recharge pacemakers without surgery.
Researchers have developed an AI-driven system that can design novel molecules with any desired properties and suggest methods to create them using readily available materials.
