Technique allows integration of single-crystal hybrid perovskites into electronics

Researchers have developed a technique that, for the first time, allows single-crystal hybrid perovskite materials to be integrated into electronics. Because these perovskites can be synthesized at low temperatures, the advance opens the door to new research into flexible electronics and potentially reduced manufacturing costs for electronic devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218115214.htm

Mystery of coronae around supermassive black holes deepens

Researchers have used observations from the ALMA radio observatory to measure, for the first time, the strength of magnetic fields near two supermassive black holes at the centers of an important type of active galaxies. Surprisingly, the strengths of the magnetic fields do not appear sufficient to power the 'coronae,' clouds of superheated plasma that are observed around the black holes at the centers of those galaxies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218100402.htm

Flexible thermoelectric generator module: A silver bullet to fix waste energy issues

Researchers developed an inexpensive large-scale flexible thermoelectric generator (FlexTEG) module with high mechanical reliability for highly efficient power generation. Through a change in direction of the top electrodes at the two sides of the module and the use of high density packaging of semiconductor chips, the FlexTEG module has more flexibility in any uniaxial direction. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181218100416.htm
