[Wafers] – Engineers grow ‘perfect’ atom-thin materials on industrial silicon wafers 14 November 2023

True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon — the backbone of modern transistors — loses its electrical properties once devices made from this material dip below a certain size.

[perovskites] – Scientists fabricate high-performance large-area perovskite submodules for solar cells 14 November 2023

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising solar technologies. Although low-cost wet processing has shown advantages in small-area PSC fabrication, the preparation of uniform charge transport layers with thickness of several nanometers from solution for meter-sized large area products is still challenging.
