MIT engineers reveal a novel discovery in semiconductors, well-known materials that have been the subject of intensive study for over 100 years due to their numerous applications in electronic devices.
Perovskite films, which combine organic and inorganic materials, have been under suspicion by scientists since 2009 as a potential material for solar panel manufacturing. In contrast to silicon wafers, perovskites are extremely thin films with a particular crystal structure that is efficient, lightweight, and inexpensive.
Solar panels are not just for rooftops; some buildings have these energy-generating devices covering every inch of their exterior.
If science and nature were to have a baby, it would surely be the zeolite. This special rock, with its porous structure that traps water inside, also traps atoms and molecules that can cause chemical reactions. That's why zeolites are important as catalysts, or substances that speed up chemical reactions without harming themselves.

Micromeritics invests in APAC with new operations in South Korea and Shanghai, enhancing support for particle characterization in fast-growing markets.
Tucked away in the sub-basement of Pitt's Benedum Hall, past the racecar parts spilling into hallways, you'll find a giant machine that looks like a cross between a car garage and the entry port of a sci-fi spaceship. It's a state-of-the-art 3D printer for metal -; the first Gefertec arc605 at any university in the U.S.
Combination reactions are used to create complex molecular structures, when two carbon atoms from different hydrocarbons are combined.
The energy sector is a complex industry, with multiple logistic processes which can potentially impact the efficient delivery of alternative energy technologies to both domestic and commercial customers. Now, a new paper in the journal Energies has analyzed these processes, providing a basis for future research in this field.
