A research team from Tianjin University of Technology, Shandong Univeristy and Shantou University has developed a novel method to enhance the performance and durability of inverted perovskite solar cell (PSC). By introducing guanidinium salt into the fabrication process, the team successfully controlled crystal growth and orientation, leading to solar cells with higher efficiency (25.85%), improved charge transport and exceptional stability under humid and thermal conditions. Moreover, extensive testing demonstrated that the devices retain over 95% of their original efficiency after thousands of hours of operation and exposure to challenging environments.

This work offers a reliable approach to fabricating highly oriented, low-defect perovskite films, accelerating the development and commercialization of efficient and stable PSCs.

Micro display is one of the important components of AR glasses. Micro-QLED is emerging as promising AR display technology due to its wide luminance range, facile fabrication of high-resolution and full-color patterns. Scientist from Beijing Institute of Technology reported the fabrication of color-converted Micro-QLED which provides a simple and low-cost route to achieve full-color micro display.

Scientists in China have developed a vertical integrated photonic chip that achieves high-throughput optical computing at 25 million frames per second. Leveraging mutually incoherent vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array and diffractive neural networks, the chip performs single-shot images processing with high energy efficiency and robustness. This breakthrough opens a pathway to next-generation free-space optical processors for real-time vision, AI acceleration, and low-power computing.

A new study led by Dr. Mohammad Fazle Rabbi at the University of Debrecen uncovers how targeted reforms in Europe’s food systems could significantly reduce carbon emissions and accelerate progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG‑12), which promotes responsible consumption and production.

A team of scientists from Khalifa University has identified a new form of carbon material that could revolutionize energy storage for electric vehicles and portable electronics. Their study, published in Carbon Research, reveals that a two‑dimensional compound called biphenylene oxide can store nearly five times more energy than graphite, the main material used in most lithium‑ion batteries today.

As industries continue to produce colorful textiles and plastics, the dyes that make them vibrant pose a serious threat to rivers and lakes. A new study published in Carbon Research shows how machine learning can help design better materials to capture and remove toxic dyes from water, improving both environmental safety and industrial sustainability.

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University presented a single-center, nonrandomized controlled cohort study designed to evaluate the efficacy of epidural electrical stimulation (EES) in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI).

The research paper, published on Jul. 22, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

Soil contamination remains a global challenge, threatening ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. Conventional remediation strategies, while effective, are often energy-intensive and carbon-heavy, limiting their long-term sustainability.
