P(VDF-CTFE)-PTU composite with significantly elevated statistical breakdown field and the promoted charge-discharge efficiency has been successfully synthesized.
Perovskite Oxides for Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction
Cutting edge research related to perovskite oxides and their derivatives for the carbon dioxide photoreduction reaction.
Harnessing the Marangoni Effect in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong report how solution shearing of organic semiconductor crystals is influenced by a surface tension gradient. Using a Marangoni-effect-assisted bar coating method, ultrathin, uniform layers of crystals with large domain sizes are obtained that show excellent performance in organic field-effect transistors.
The “Space Bear” is Weird, but Not That Weird…
Together with many eukaryotes in which relatively large percentages of lateral gene transfer had been claimed, Tardigrades are now downgraded to normality, and here’s why…
