A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...

Quantum engineers have spent years trying to tame the fragility of qubits, only to be thwarted by the tiniest imperfections in the materials they use. Now a new line of research flips that problem on ...

A method to make perovskite crystals at lower temperatures could point the way toward lower-cost solar cells by eliminating defects that reduce perovskites’ efficiency (ACS Energy Lett. 2020, DOI: ...

Ishikawa, Japan - We might imagine crystals to be perfect structures, but they are, in fact, often plagued with “defects.” Curiously enough, such defects often appear due to atoms undergoing ...

Material structures are rarely perfect, but researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have now identified a way to make them more so. By monitoring in real time how ...
