Scientists have developed a new model that explains how photon efficiency changes at higher wavelengths, paving the way for a more efficient quantum internet. Reading time 2 minutes Materials ...

There are roof shapes and ratios that maximize heat retainment and energy efficiency and, interestingly, ancient Italian architects and builders seemed to know it, too. While serving as a visiting ...

In a software-driven world, it's easy to forget about the nuts and bolts. Whether it's cars, robots, personal gadgetry or industrial machines, Candace Lombardi examines the moving parts that keep our ...

Research led by a University of Sussex scientist has turned a 156-year-old law of physics on its head in a development which could lead to more efficient recharging of batteries in cars and mobile ...

Working in tandem A perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell. (Courtesy: Oxford PV) Late in 2020, scientists in Germany and Lithuania announced a new milestone in so-called “tandem” solar cells – that ...

The efficiency of perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) is limited by electron traps that form due to structural defects. While defect passivation – the science of neutralizing these traps often with molecules – ...
