Highly Efficient and Air-Stable Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells Enabled by Polylactic Acid Modification

Yong Ding, Feng Liu

Inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) suffer from serious carrier recombination and open-circuit voltage loss because of surface defects and unfavorable energy level alignment. Herein, a polylactic acid (PLA) modification approach to improve the performa ...

The physics of 3D printing with light

Christophe Moser

The goal of 3D printing is to realize complex 3D structures by locally adding material in small volume elements called voxels - in contrast to successively subtracting material by etching, milling or machining. This field started with optics-based proposal ...

A Sustainable Approach to Produce Stiff, Super-Tough, and Heat-Resistant Poly(lactic acid)-Based Green Materials

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz, Mehmet Kerem Citak, Fatma Nalan Cetin

Circumventing inherent embrittlement, poor heat resistance, and melt elasticity of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) without compromising its remarkable stiffness and strength has become a particular challenge in polymer science due to increasing demand for green ma ...

Additive manufacturing of hierarchical injectable scaffolds for tissue engineering

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Thomas Michael Braschler

We present a 3D-printing technology allowing free-form fabrication of centimetre-scale injectable structures for minimally invasive delivery. They result from the combination of 3D printing onto a cryogenic substrate and optimisation of carboxymethylcellul ...

Self-replicating hardware for reliability: The embryonics project

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Pierre-André Mudry

The multicellular structure of biological organisms and the interpretation in each of their cells of a chemical program (the DNA string or genome) is the source of inspiration for the Embryonics (embryonic electronics) project, whose final objective is the ...
