Heterojunction Solar Cells Boosted to Higher Efficiency
Replacing the commonly used ITO/Ag contact stack with aluminum allows for an increased efficiency and lower manufacturing costs of heterojunction solar cells.
The Link between Climate Change and Gender Inequality
While women are more likely to express concerns about climate change and to accurately grasp its science, they are also more likely to underestimate their knowledge.
Nitride Materials for Stabilization of Li Metal Anode
Quantum mechanical calculations uncover lithium-stable materials out of a variety of chemistry across the periodic table.
Phase Control of 2D Materials with Reverse Micelles
Supercritical carbon dioxide induced reverse micelles were used to create metallic 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen generation.
Hermetic Connectors for the Toughest Conditions
Hermetic plugs are used in cases of large differences in pressure, at high altitude and at depth, or in difficult weather conditions.
Solvent is the Key to Making Perovskite Nanosheets
The synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanosheets (NSs) remains a significant challenge for perovskite materials. Now, researchers have demonstrated a facile crystallization method for the synthesis of free-standing 2D phenylethylammonium lead halide NSs.
Polymer Foam Turns Landfill Waste into a Breath of Fresh Air
Polyurethane foam porosity affects the efficiency of ammonium removal from contaminated landfill leachate water.
2D Nanomaterials for Cancer Therapeutic Platforms
In a recent Review, a summary of 2D nanomaterials for used in cancer theranostics is provided.
How Can Protein Coronas Impact the Future of Nanomedicine?
The application and the clinical development of nanomedicines strongly requires a deep study on the complex dynamics that happen after in vivo administration. Particularly, plasma proteins tend to associate to nanoparticles, forming a new surface named the “protein corona” that can have a strong impact on biodistribution, targeting efficacy, and toxicity.
