Quantum information theory: Quantum complexity grows linearly for an exponentially long time. Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of…
Many semiconducting materials are possible candidates for solar cells. In recent years, perovskite semiconductors in particular have attracted attention, as they are both inexpensive and…
Every child knows that water conducts electricity — but this refers to “normal” everyday water that contains salts. Pure, distilled water, on the other hand,…
An international team has shown through a sensational experiment how diverse the possibilities for employing synchrotron light sources are. The most modern light sources for…
With a clever experiment, physicists have shown that in a one-dimensional quantum system, the initially complex distribution of vibrations or phonons can change over time…
The current world record tandem solar cell provided stable performance for 300 hours – even without encapsulation. An HZB team has published a report in…
Quantum Spin Liquids are candidates for potential use in future information technologies. So far, Quantum Spin Liquids have usually only been found in one or…
90 years ago, the physicist Hans Bethe postulated that unusual patterns, so-called Bethe strings, appear in certain magnetic solids. Now an international team has succeeded…
At the Berlin X-ray source BESSY II, researchers have decoded the protein responsible for the replication of the coronavirus. Analyzing the 3D architecture allows the…
Using crystallographic analyses at the Diamond Light Source (DLS) synchrotron in the United Kingdom, an HZB team has demonstrated that hybrid halide perovskites crystallize without…
Polymeric carbon nitrides exhibit a catalytic effect in sunlight that can be used for the production of hydrogen from solar energy. However, the efficiency of…
In a newly published study, researchers from the HZB Institute for Silicon Photovoltaics have shown that graphene retains its properties when coated with a thin…
A newly published study reveals how HZB and TU Delft scientists used a solar cell and a photo anode made of a metal oxide to…
