A team of researchers from the University of Toronto, Canada, has leveraged quantum mechanics to optimize the active layer within an inverted perovskite solar cell—a technology that could one day result in mass-market solar cells that cost a fraction of those currently on the market.
Physicists at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln recently teamed up to craft the first magneto-electric transistor, a new spin on the transistor that could help feed the world’s ever-growing appetite for digital memory while slicing up to 5% of the energy from its power-hungry diet.
Intel celebrated the grand opening of the latest expansion of D1X, its leading-edge factory in Hillsboro, Ore.
Rigaku, Japan, recently launched the world’s first turnkey electron diffractometer in the form of the XtaLAB Synergy-ED, and researchers at the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham have published the first crystal structures determined by the XtaLAB Synergy-ED in the-high profile journal Nature Communications.
The new 72DL PLUS ultrasonic thickness gauge from Olympus, Waltham, Ma., delivers precision thickness measurements at high speed in a portable, easy-to-use device.
