A research team led by Prof. XU Jixian from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) designed and fashioned a novel porous insulator contact (PIC) for perovskite solar cells. The PIC ameliorated the non-radiative charge recombination effect and the corresponding solar cell achieved an efficiency of up to 25.5%. The result was published in

Two-dimensional monolayer nanosheets made from layered perovskite have many desirable properties. However, it has been difficult to create them with tunable bandgaps in the visible region without adding oxygen defects. Recently, researchers from Japan were able to successfully develop chemically stable nanosheets from perovskite oxynitrides which had controllable bandgaps. These nanosheets have

Renewable energy saw a record increase in 2022 with capacity up almost 10 percent globally, the International Renewable Energy Agency said Tuesday, warning it was not enough to limit climate change.
Last year, 83 percent of new power generation capacity came from renewable sources, the IRENA agency said as it announced a 9.6 percent increase in renewables capacity globally.

In traditional design and manufacturing of planes, ships, vehicles, and other engineered structures, every part or individual component is typically constructed from a single material. This "one part-one material" constraint can lead to vulnerabilities when highly engineered components experience different local forces or environments in service. Material selection in these situations is usually

Physicists have discovered a remarkable correspondence between dense states of gluons-the gluelike carriers of the strong nuclear force within atomic nuclei-and enormous black holes in the cosmos. The dense walls of gluons, known as a color glass condensate (CGC), are generated in collisions of atomic nuclei. This CGC measures a mere 10-19 kilometers across-less than a billionth of a kilometer.

China launched a Kuaizhou 1A carrier rocket on Wednesday afternoon at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the country's northwestern desert, placing four meteorological satellites in orbit, according to China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp.
The State-owned company said in a release that the solid-propellant rocket blasted off at 5:09 pm from its launch vehicle and then placed four

Following enormous collisions, such as asteroid impacts, some amount of material from an impacted world may be ejected into space. This material can travel vast distances and for extremely long periods of time. In theory this material could contain direct or indirect signs of life from the host world, such as fossils of microorganisms. And this material could be detectable by humans in the near

Monday's planned drive positioned Curiosity with a new workspace to investigate. We have left the Marker Band, with Natalie's blog nicely summarizing our campaign there. As a physicist and spectroscopist by training, I find myself looking more at the analytical data, in particular X-ray fluorescence data, acquired on rocks, than the rocks themselves. But there was something about the primary roc

Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), two teams of astronomers have observed the aftermath of the collision between NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft and the asteroid Dimorphos. The controlled impact was a test of planetary defence, but also gave astronomers a unique opportunity to learn more about the asteroid's composition from the expelled material.

Many health insurance companies are offering innovative features to increase the attractiveness of buying health insurance. These features include lock-in premium, no claim bonuses, and treatment for critical illnesses abroad. A four-year waiting period for senior citizens has been reduced, and coverage now includes ABCD illnesses, such as diabetes. Health insurance companies are also offering day one cover and more coverage after 30 days, which are more expensive than a basic policy with a longer waiting period.
