For all the promise they are showing in converting sunlight into electricity at ever-improving efficiencies, perovskite solar cells still have some flaws that must be addressed for them to enter ...

Scientists in the United States developed what they describe as a ‘scotch-tape like’ solution, which can absorb potential lead leakage from perovskite solar cells, preventing the toxic material from ...

Chemotherapy drugs work by being so toxic that they kill cancer cells. The tricky parts are getting the right cells to absorb the drugs. A new study in mice suggests that, by dampening one of the ...

A Colorado State University biochemist is completing the first year of a $985,000, four-year National Science Foundation grant to study how cells take up materials such as proteins from outside their ...

Photo of ultrathin on-chip solar cells. The cells are the green squares and include an ultrathin layer of light-absorbing GaAs, which is key to their radiation tolerance. The surface of each green ...

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found a new way to stick different layers of tandem solar cells and achieved ...

Some people like to say outer space is a starry frontier of vast emptiness, but clearly they’ve never tried launching a satellite. Sixty-five years after Sputnik, some 8,000 low-Earth orbit (LEO) ...

1. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be harmful to photosynthetic organisms, that most frequently respond with the accumulation of protective UVabsorbing compounds (UVACs). UVACs ...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2022 – Most space satellites are powered by photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. Exposure to certain types of radiation present in orbit can damage the devices, ...
