Synthesizing double perovskite nanocrystals with bright emission based on triplet self-trapped excitons

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Different from the narrow band emission based on free excitons in lead-perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), the low electronic dimensionality in lead-free double perovskite NCs can lead to self-trapped excitons (STEs), generating a broadband emission.

Did the Earth tip on its side 84 million years ago?

Tokyo Institute of Technology   -   Organizations and Universities Websites

Hold on to your hats, because scientists have found more evidence that Earth tips over from time to time. We know that the continents are moving slowly due to plate tectonics, but continental drift only pushes the tectonic plates past each other....
