2D organic-inorganic perovskites pave the way to novel low-cost solar cells
Organic-inorganic lead iodide perovskites are a much studied materials class that have reached solar cell efficiencies above 22% – on par with amorphous silicon – in only a few years after discovery.
RF transmitters move, make room for CBETA, CHESS-U
The RF transmitters, which power the superconducting cavities of CESR, are in the daunting process of relocating in order to accommodate the realization of CBETA and CHESS-U.
A photographic feast of physics
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so a hundred pictures must be worth some hundred-thousand words.
DNA to RNA - more ways than one
Information encoded in our genes controls how we live and grow. As part of this complex process, DNA is transcribed to RNA, one "letter" (nucleotide) at a time, by an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP).
Cool, calm and collected
CESR team aims to lower beam emittance with Optical Stochastic Cooling
Mapping lattice strain in 4H-Silicon Carbide by synchrotron double-crystal topography
Just out in Journal of Electronic Materials is a novel strain mapping study of crystalline Silicon Carbide, a material widely used as a substrate for thin film electronics.
Pressure-induced fabrication of Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods
Using pressure rather than chemicals, a joint research team of Brown and Cornell Universities combined their strengths and reshaped nanoparticles into highly monodispersive Janus nanoparticles and helically decorating nanorods.
