Efficient Organic Solar Cells Made With A Water Treatment
September 20, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) scientists use a water treatment for morphology control in the fabrication of active layer thin films, improving the performance and stability of large-area organic solar cells. Morphology control is essentially about making and placing very small particles in their working position. Albeit somewhat a simplified description, as miniaturization […]

Progress In Understanding Nickel Oxide Superconductors
September 8, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory researchers discovered that nickel oxide superconductors contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that’s common in other unconventional superconductors. The new study shows that nickel oxide superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at higher temperatures than conventional superconductors do, contain a type of quantum matter […]
