A breakthrough at Rice University has led to the development of more stable and efficient perovskite solar cells, using a templating method with two-dimensional perovskites, promising lower-cost, flexible solar panels as an alternative to traditional…

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a portable lab-on-a-chip device that uses blood to generate electricity, enabling on-the-spot diagnosis. This technology, which measures blood electrical conductivity, can assess health parameters and may transform…

Researchers have created a flexible, waterproof organic photovoltaic film that can be integrated into clothing and remain functional after exposure to water and mechanical stress, paving the way for advanced wearable solar-powered devices. Researchers at…

The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical…
