Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

Researchers in the lab of Asst. Prof. Tian Zhong of the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including postdoctoral researcher and first author Leonardo França (pictured), have explored ...

A new hybrid layered perovskite featuring elusive spontaneous defect ordering has been found, report scientists. By introducing specific concentrations of thiocyanate ions into FAPbI3 (FA = ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

(Nanowerk News) Perovskites are among the most extensively studied materials in modern materials science. Their often unique and exotic properties, which stem from perovskite’s peculiar crystal ...
