A team led by Professor Jongmin Choi of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering has developed a PbS quantum dot that can rapidly enhance the electrical conductivity of solar cells. The ...

The quest to maximize electric vehicle efficiency — in driving and charging — and to lower the risk of fires has engineers at automakers and elsewhere looking at everything under the hood, including ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered a rare rubidium (Rb)-containing oxide-ion conductor, Rb 5 BiMo 4 O 16, with ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Japanese researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have developed a new material that could dramatically ...

Solid acid fuel cells harness proton conduction through crystalline acid salts, most notably cesium dihydrogen phosphate (CsH₂PO₄) and related compounds, at intermediate temperatures (150–300 °C).

Flexible and stretchable electronics have brought medical devices into much closer mechanical alignment with soft tissue. But there is still a basic mismatch: most bioelectronic materials are chosen ...
