Perovskite-based solar cells are viewed as potential successors to the prevalent silicon cells because of their cost-effectiveness and outstanding performance. Recent research has showcased perovskite photovoltaic cells with enhanced optoelectronic properties. One of the main obstacles to their wider adoption is reducing optical losses in these next-generation cells.
Researchers accelerated the reaction between cancer cell-derived nanoparticles and antibody-modified microparticles using laser light. The 3D structure of the aggregates was analyzed with a confocal optical system. Results showed the capability to measure 1,000 to 10,000 nanoscale extracellular vesicles in a 500 nL sample within 5 minutes.
Artificial ion channels computationally designed with biological precision enable new energy harvesting concepts and other applications impossible in nature.
