The article was published in the journal Nanoscale. The vast majority of organo-inorganic hybrid materials used today in solar power are three-dimensional perovskite-like semiconductors that contain lead in their structure. However, the use of such materials creates problems due to their toxicity. Double perovskites, or "elpasolites," can serve ...
Bosch’s Light Drive module is a sole source, technology stack that consists of microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) mirrors, optical elements, on-board processing and other sensors. The goal of the technology is to give users a clean visual experience with bright images even in direct sunlight. Smartglasses using the technology could allow ...
The performance of microelectronic devices will depend on a better understanding of the thermophysical properties of the various materials used in the microelectronics. At the University of Texas at Arlington, the team of Dr. Ankur Jain, who heads the ...
People are looking for smaller, more power-efficient, and higher sound-quality hearing aids, and MEMS microphones are well-positioned to meet those expectations. Over 5% of the world’s population — or 466 million people — have disabling hearing loss, and more than 900 million people — one in every 10 people — are expected to have ...
