Jan 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Neuromorphic devices â which emulate the decision-making processes of the human brain â show great promise for solving pressing scientific problems, but building physical systems to realize this potential presents researchers with a significant challenge. An international team has gained additional insights into a material...
Researchers developed materials for extremely high-efficiency perovskite solar cells
Jan 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A group of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania synthesised materials that were used for constructing a record-breaking perovskite solar module, with an efficiency of 21.4 per cent. This was achieved through the passivation of the active solar cell layer, which increases the...
Hunting for dead stars
Jan 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Neutron stars are tiny in size, but almost incomprehensibly dense. Actually, they are stellar corpses, but they still have enough life in them to show some of the most exciting phenomena you can find in space. “Neutron stars aren’t only fascinating for astronomers. They’re unique...
Cambridge Advance Online meets bionanotechnology
Jan 11, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) 2021 was a remarkable year for Bionanotechnology. It had seen the widespread use of mRNA vaccines to fight COVID-19, formulated using lipid nanoparticles to stabilise the fragile mRNA cargo. This huge success was not the first of its kind. That had been established some 30...
