Ever wondered how small changes can make a big difference in solar tech? Scientists have been tinkering with a special kind of material called hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites. These materials are superstars in the world of solar panels and other devices that use light. They are easy to make and have amazing properties. One cool thing about these material...

Scientists have been playing around with tiny molecules to make better light-based technology. They mixed a special molecule called PDI with another called GMP. This mix created something new with some cool properties. First, they looked at how these molecules fit together. They found that the mix changed how the molecules behaved. The new mix had a smaller energy g...

Krypton ions have been used to tweak the properties of β-Ga2O3/4H-SiC materials. This process is called defect engineering. It's like giving these materials a superpower boost. The goal is to make solar-blind photodetectors work better. These are sensors that can detect ultraviolet light but ignore visible and infrared light. The experiment used different tests. X-r...

Ever heard of PtSe2? It's a two-dimensional material that's catching scientists' attention for its amazing optoelectronic properties. The thing is, when combined with bulk materials like silicon, there are often issues with defects and carrier losses. This study introduces a clever solution: using hydrophobic bonding to peel off a high-quality layer of silicon from a...
