Carboxylic acid dianions (fumarate, maleate and succinate) play a role in coordination chemistry and to some extent also in the biochemistry of body cells. A team has now analyzed their electronic ...

The production of clean hydrogen through water electrolysis is a promising route toward emission-free and sustainable energy ...

Laboratory of Computer Design of New Materials and Machine Learning of the Institute of Physics has carried out comprehensive studies of typical trifluorides of rare earth elements—gadolinium (GdF₃), ...

Halide perovskites are a family of materials that promise huge gains in power conversion and performance over typical silicon solar cells, but there's one problem—they're not very stable. A new study ...

Scientists have developed a new protective coating that significantly extends the life of perovskite solar cells, making them more practical for applications outside the lab. Northwestern University ...
