Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have been rapidly developed in the past decade. To obtain high-performance PSCs, it is imperative to optimize the fabrication processes and the composition of the perovskite films. Extensive work has been carried out to determine the effects of the fabrication processes and composition of the perovskite films on the device performance. However, it

When Brad Duerstock was 18, a spinal cord injury paralyzed his arms and legs, requiring him to use what control he had left in his hands to operate a power wheelchair. Throughout the more than 30 years since, Duerstock has seen smartphones, tablets and other types of technology get developed but not become usable for him or others with disabilities until years later. "It's always bee

Solar Orbiter has spotted a 'tube' of cooler atmospheric gases snaking its way through the Sun's magnetic field. The observation provides an intriguing new addition to the zoo of features revealed by the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission, especially since the snake was a precursor to a much larger eruption. The snake was seen on 5 September 2022, as Solar Orbiter was approaching the Sun for a close

ESA's Mars Express spacecraft recently conducted tests in which it relayed data gathered by NASA's Perseverance rover back to Earth. The 19-year-old spacecraft has now relayed data for seven different Mars surface missions - a unique, new record! Landers and rovers on Mars gather data that help scientists answer fundamental questions about the geology, atmosphere, surface environment, hist

ESA's Mars Express has revealed that Mars churns up surprisingly Earth-like cloud patterns that are reminiscent of those in our planet's tropical regions. Earth and Mars have vastly different atmospheres. The dry, cold atmosphere of Mars is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide while Earth's is rich in nitrogen and oxygen. Its atmospheric density is less than one fiftieth of Earth's a

NASA's quiet supersonic X-59 now has the engine that will power it in flight. The installation of the F414-GE-100 engine took place at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California, earlier this month, marking a major milestone as the X-59 approaches the completion of its assembly. The 13-foot-long engine from General Electric Aviation packs 22,000 pounds of propulsion ene

Weather and climate modelers understand pretty well how seasonal winds and ocean currents affect El Nino patterns in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, impacting weather across the United States and sometimes worldwide. But new computer simulations show that one driver of annual weather cycles in that region - in particular, a cold tongue of surface waters stretching westward along the

On the third day after lifting off from Florida bound for the Moon, the Orion spacecraft is "exceeding performance expectations," NASA officials said on Friday. The spacecraft is to take astronauts to the Moon in the coming years - the first to set foot on its surface since the last Apollo mission in 1972. This first test flight, without a crew on board, aims to ensure that the vehicl
