Fatigue-free Layered Hybrid Perovskite Ferroelectric Developed for Photovoltaic Non-volatile Memories

“Ferroelectric materials with reversible spontaneous polarization have been extensively investigated as active media for non-volatile memories. However, most of the ferroelectric materials known suffer from high internal resistances, large bandgap, and poor carrier transportation, which hindered their further applications. The …

Insights into Lithium Metal Battery Failure Open Doors to Doubling Battery Life

“Lithium metal batteries could double the amount of energy held by lithium-ion batteries, if only their anodes didn’t break down into small pieces when they were used. Now, researchers led by Prof. CUI Guanglei from the Qingdao Institute of …

First Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution Experiment to Secure Communication

“PAN Jianwei and colleagues PENG Chengzhi and ZHANG Qiang, from University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with WANG Xiangbin from Tsinghua University and YOU Lixing from Shanghai Institute of Microsystems of …

Bionic Idea Boosts Lithium-ion Extraction

“Lithium is an energy-critical element that is considered to be a geopolitically significant resource. However, the supply of lithium may not be enough to meet continuously increasing demand. As a result, scientists are looking for new ways to extract lithium …

Researchers Achieve On-demand Storage in Integrated Solid-state Quantum Memory
