"This work saw a significant 80% decrease in feeding on human skin when a thin cellulose #nanocrystal (CNC) coat was applied. The effect was further confirmed by artificial feeding on Aedes aegypti wherein CNC appears to act as a chemical camouflage to the many cues sought by the insects. The combined effect of CNC with indole reduced egg laying post exposure to mammalian blood close to null with 99.4% less eggs as compared to control. "

#Perovskite #nanocrystal #solar cells are making waves in the news, having recently set new records for both efficiency (27.4%) and voltage (2.19V)

An #engineering team at #RiceUniversity improved stability & efficiency with two active layers: a 2D layer for blue & visible light on top of a 3D layer for near-infrared light

The process is compatible with high-speed roll-to-roll manufacturing and these cells degraded by less than 1% after 2000 hours under 100% sunlight
