Dec 23, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Quantum sensing is a rapidly developing field that utilizes the quantum states of particles, such as superposition, entanglement, and spin states, to detect changes in physical, chemical, or biological systems. A promising type of quantum nanosensor is nanodiamonds (NDs) equipped with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. These...
Laser printing improves stability of perovskite electronics in extreme environments
Dec 23, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Metal halide perovskites have attracted substantial research interest since 2009 when their potential for solar cell applications was first demonstrated. These semiconductor materials combine effective light absorption with good electrical conductivity while being simple to manufacture. However, metal halide perovskites degrade rapidly under normal environmental...
Wearable energy harvester can be attached to the skin or clothes
Dec 23, 2024 (Nanowerk News) DGIST announced that a team led by Prof. Jang Kyung-In from the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has developed a three-dimensional stretchable piezoelectric energy harvester that can harvest electrical energy using body movements. The device is to be used as a wearable energy harvester...
