An inexpensive liquid-phase deposition method can form molecularly ordered films of various materials, a feat usually carried out commercially via costly vapor deposition techniques (Science 2019, DOI ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Manganese oxides have numerous applications in batteries, supercapacitors, microelectronics and (electro)catalysis – all of which can greatly benefit from conformally deposited ...

Perovskite solar cells, it seems, have been on the verge of large-scale production for a couple of years now. Researchers are testing a variety of different routes to reproducing the already ...

Verde Technologies, a U.S.-based spinoff of the University of Vermont specializing in single junction and all thin-film tandem perovskite solar technologies, has demonstrated that its coating ...

Sometimes, seeing clearly requires complete black. For astronomy and precision optics, coating devices in black paint can cut down on stray light, enhancing images and boosting performance. For the ...
