Neuromorphic devices -; which emulate the decision-making processes of the human brain -; show great promise for solving pressing scientific problems, but building physical systems to realize this potential presents researchers with a significant challenge.
A group of chemists from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania synthesised materials that were used for constructing a record-breaking perovskite solar module, with an efficiency of 21.4 per cent. This was achieved through the passivation of the active solar cell layer, which increases the efficiency of the cell and significantly improves its stability.
In adjoining Energy Sciences Center laboratories, researchers develop better energy storage devices by understanding the fundamental reactions that form interfaces.
Natural gas can be used as fuel for generating electricity, heating and powering transportation. It is also the raw material to manufacture hydrogen and ammonia.
Materials scientists at Duke University have revealed paddlewheel-like molecular dynamics that help push sodium ions through a quickly evolving class of solid-state batteries. The insights should guide researchers in their pursuit of a new generation of sodium-ion batteries to replace lithium-ion technology in a wide range of applications such as data centers and home energy storage.
Henniker Plasma, a leading UK manufacturer of plasma surface treatment systems, has invested in the latest mobile surface analyser (MSA) by Krüss. This is the latest addition to its continuously developing surface testing lab, based in the North West of England.
