A team of researchers at Cornell University has uncovered a surprising problem in a promising class of materials known as hybrid perovskites. The discovery could help scientists build better materials for future technologies, including solar cells, energy-harvesting devices, and advanced electronics. Hybrid perovskites have attracted enormous interest in recent years because they are efficient at […]
