A strategy to reduce defects in inverted perovskite solar cells and improve their performance
Perovskites, a class of materials with a characteristic crystal structure, have proved to be very promising for the fabrication of solar cells and photovoltaics. One of these materials is lead...
Study sets new constraints on the kinetic mixing of hidden photon dark matter
As dark matter is comprised of particles that do not absorb, emit or reflect light, it cannot be observed directly with the methods used to observe conventional matter. In recent years,...
Study shows that the translation of protein by microglia supports efficient phagocytosis
Recent studies have found that some cells of the brain, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, can transport pieces of the genetic code (RNA) from the nucleus out to their distal...
Study reports melting curve of superionic ammonia under icy planetary interior conditions
Icy planets, such as Uranus (U) and Neptune (N), are found in both our solar system and other solar systems across the universe. Nonetheless, these planets, characterized by a thick atmosphere and a...
A large dataset to train machine learning models for aerial vehicle design
Designing reliable aircraft can be both challenging and time-consuming, as it often entails several steps and analyses. Deep learning models could potentially help to speed up aircraft design and...
Mindfulness meditation could mitigate the adverse effects of fatigue on emotional processing
Fatigue, which can be defined as lacking energy and the motivation to do things during the day, is a very common symptom that most humans will experience at least once in their life. While it is...
A new neural machine code to program reservoir computers
Reservoir computing is a promising computational framework based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs), which essentially maps input data onto a high-dimensional computational space, keeping some...
Research group unveils properties of cosmic-ray sulfur and the composition of other primary cosmic rays
Charged cosmic rays, high-energy clusters of particles moving through space, were first described in 1912 by physicist Victor Hess. Since their discovery, they have been the topic of numerous...
A quantum Szilard engine that can achieve two-level system hyperpolarization
Quantum computers, machines that perform computations exploiting quantum mechanical phenomena, could eventually outperform classical computers on some tasks, by utilizing quantum mechanical...
A strategy to create highly performing cobalt-free cathodes for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, rechargeable batteries that can store energy via the reversible reduction of lithium ions, are among the most widespread battery technologies, due to their remarkable...
