Glassification could stabilise Perovskite light emitters

Lead (Pb) halide perovskites, known for fledgling solar cell technology, can also emit light. The materials are generally unstable in the moisture of the atmosphere, deteriorating over hours or days. But researchers in Australia have maintained ~80% of emission despite 10,000 hours of water immersion. Although this was a photo-luminescence proof-of-concept – emitting light when ...

Panel potentiometers are stiffer to resist accidental rotation

Vishay has introduced panel potentiometers that are stiffer to rotate, to reduce the chances of operation accidentally or though shock or vibration. Behind the panel, the bodies are 12.5 x 12.5mm, and they are modular, allowing up to seven potentiometers to be stacked on the back of a single shaft. Various switch modules can be ...
