Large-areas of perovskite solar cell active layer can be stuck to glass using self-assembling organic mono-layers, according to scientists in China, who see it as a route to commercialisation of this promising photovoltaic technology. PTAA – poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl)amine] – is a successful hole-transporting material for perovskite solar cells, but can only be applied using ...

Scientists in India have created random numbers from a 2-d material heterostructure that pass US NIST (National Institute of standards and Technology) SP 800-90B and SP 800-22 testing. It is “an all-electronic van der Waals heterostructure-based device capable of detecting discrete charge fluctuations for extracting entropy from physical processes, according to the researchers in the ...
