• Researchers Suggest New Way To Boost Perovskite Solar Cell Performance

  …e are other drawbacks, too. To absorb enough light, silicon solar cells must be sufficiently thick – which makes them ill-suited for use in flexible solar cells. That’s why scientists are looking into other materials as possible bases for solar cells – and one such option is perovskites. These are light, thin, and cheap semiconductors that can easily be scaled up …

• New Discovery Makes Cheap, Compact Lasers Possible

  …to generate laser radiation via resonators, the process, however, comes with a huge drawback – it requires large amounts of energy.  To lower the energy demands for lasers, scientists are trying to bypass the need for a population inversion by making use of highly-promising exciton-polaritons. These quasiparticles are, in fact, hybrids of light and matter that pro…

• ITMO Researchers Develop Simple Technology for Fabrication of Microfluidic Elements on Glass

  …Microfluidic devices are chips with various micro- and nanostructures (channels, reservoirs, and coils) located on their surface. In their work, scientists add liquids to these chips, allowing these substances to spread inside the microstructures. This way, microelements allow researchers to manage the flow of the liquids – store them, separate them, or mix them – in…
