A UK-based clean technology leader – Oxford PV – recently set a new world record for conversion efficiency in a perovskite solar technology. These highly efficient solar panels have been touted by many to be the next step in the future of photovoltaics.

The new breed of electronic devices is all-digital and nanosized. However, to make these devices work, innovative materials solutions are required. New research from an international team headed by scientists at Russia’s South Ural State University has identified a nanocomposite material comprised of magnesium oxide (MgO) and barium titanate (BaTiO3).

The rapid increase in the world’s population has subsequently increased the demand for food supply. Farmers often lose their agricultural produce due to pathogenic infestations, poor soil conditions, water, and environmental factors. Scientists believe nanobiosensors can play a crucial role in revolutionizing the farming system by determining threats to prevent agricultural loss.

Liquid crystals (LCs) are optically anisotropic materials, and they are widely used in electro-optical display technology, known as liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

Imagine catching a comet.
Comets are clusters of frozen gases passing close to the Earth at high speed, whose fate is to gradually evaporate until disappearing.

Device miniaturization and a consequent increase in the heat and electromagnetic (EM) wave emission in the electronic systems make the simultaneous heat management and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding crucially important.

Borophene is the name for atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) sheets of boron. Whereas boron is a nonmetallic semiconductor in its bulk form, it becomes a metallic conductor in 2D, even at a thickness of only one atomic layer.

Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in today’s electronic devices such as smart phones and laptops. Even NASA uses rechargeable batteries in many missions to provide electrical power for survival during eclipse periods on solar-powered missions…

Radiative cooling is a passive cooling strategy for lowering the temperature of an object without consuming energy or emitting pollution.
