Researchers obtain high-quality perovskites over large areas by a chemical method
Scientists report the chemical solution (water-based) synthesis of high-quality epitaxial thin films of perovkskite free of defects at square-centimeter scales and compatible with standard microfabrication techniques. These films show a robust ferromagnetic moment and large magnetoresistance at room temperature.
Corn protein nanoparticles customized for better therapeutic drug transport
Researchers have unveiled an extremely compact yet fully loaded vehicle that can brave conditions and navigate terrain its predecessors could not.
Flexible sensors turn skin into a touch-sensitive interaction space for mobile devices (w/video)
Computer scientists are studying the potential use of the human body as a touch sensitive surface for controlling mobile devices. They have developed flexible silicone rubber stickers with pressure-sensitive sensors that fit snugly to the skin. By operating these touch input stickers, users can use their own body to control mobile devices.
Cheap, environmentally friendly solar cells are produced by minimizing disruptive surface layers
By tailoring the interface between the two sections of a solar cell, researchers have produced a high-performance solar cell from the abundant and cheap materials of copper oxide and silicon.
Solar cells get growth boost
Researchers have found that growing a type of film used to manufacture solar cells in ambient air gives it a growth boost. The finding could make manufacturing solar cells significantly cheaper.
Nanoparticles - Shaken, not stirred, is best for cancer imaging
Tiny conjugated polyelectrolyte-nanoparticle probes produced by ultrasonication prove superior to commercial products.
