Double perovskites are like the superheroes of solar tech, but they have a kryptonite: disorder in their atomic structure. Two of these heroes, Cs2AgBiCl6 and Cs2AgInCl6, have been under the spotlight. Scientists wanted to understand how these materials behave when their atoms get mixed up. They used fancy computer models to peek into the atomic world. What they fou...

Perovskite nanocrystals are tiny particles that have amazing light-managing abilities. These particles, specifically CsPbX3, are crucial for advanced optoelectronic devices. Among them, cyan-emitting perovskites show great promise for high-quality lighting. It is important to note that light can significantly alter the optical properties of these materials during po...

Nitride perovskites have been overshadowed by their oxide and halide cousins. This is a shame because they have a lot to offer. These materials are worth exploring for both scientific curiosity and practical applications. A recent study took a close look at lanthanum tungsten nitride (LaWN3). This was done using a method called density-functional theory. The focus w...

You might have heard of perovskites, those amazing materials that could revolutionize solar panels. But there's a special type of perovskite called quasi-2D DJ type that's stealing the spotlight in another area: X-ray detection. These materials have incredible properties for detecting X-rays, but they come with some problems like phase segregation and tiny crystal si...

Have you heard about mixing stuff really quickly to make cool things happen? Scientists are doing just that with sound waves. They've found a clever trick to speed up the growth of tiny particles called nanocrystals. These tiny crystals are part of a group called lead halide perovskites, and they're great for working with light. The secret lies in a special mixer th...
