The ever-growing mobile data transfers in the wake of 5G require the use of more and higher frequency ranges, all of which need to be accommodated within a single mobile device. Thus, the demands on radio frequency components are constantly increasing.

Experts from 51 research institutions have now agreed on the procedures for measuring the stability of perovskite solar cells and assessing their quality. The consensus statement was published in Nature Energy and is considered a milestone for the further development of this new type of solar cell.

Nanoscience can arrange minute molecular entities into nanoscale patterns thanks to self-organisation. A team of scientists at the Technical University of Munich has supplied a simple rod-shaped building block with hydroxamic acid at both ends. The resulting complex molecular networks show exceptional material properties.
