Controlled solid-state crystallization with formamidinium acetate for fully vacuum-deposited perovskite solar cells

Nature Energy, Published online: 14 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41560-026-02093-8

Vacuum-processed perovskite solar cells show promise, yet their efficiency remains limited. Xu et al. use formamidinium acetate to promote perovskite crystallization, achieving a 25.5% power conversion efficiency and 1,000 h operational stability.

West versus Central Tibet exhumation difference influenced by Indian slab underthrusting

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41561-026-02043-9

The extent of Indian continental underthrusting beneath Western Tibet influences its moderate-to-rapid exhumation, relative to slow exhumation in Central Tibet, according to thermochronological data and exhumation history modelling.
