Korean scientists utilized an anti-reflective coating based on silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles and large phosphor particles to increase diffuse light transmittance in a tandem perovskite-silicon ...

The silicon dioxide doesn't do the cooling itself. Instead, the unique surface properties of the coated nanoscale material conduct the heat at potentially higher efficiency than existing heat sink ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have discovered how to harness the light-emitting properties of porous silicon to stabilize the material's surface and direct it to respond to ...

Silicon waste from discarded solar cells is transformed into durable battery anodes through interface engineering, enabling high capacity and long cycle life using scalable, low-cost processes.

When particles in volcanic ash cloud rub together, some pick up positive charge and others negative – now physicists have ...
