An NYU Tandon-led research team has developed a novel technique to significantly enhance the performance of cadmium telluride ...

In an effort to achieve this, the group began working with ultrathin layers of niobium diselenide, a well-known superconductor, deposited on a graphene substrate. Using advanced imaging and ...

A team of researchers led by NYU Tandon has found a simple yet powerful way to make cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels ...

This is achieved by simply twisting atomically thin layers within a layered device. The research ties into the concept of the superconducting gap, which plays a central role in the behavior of ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

The resulting thin layer of solar film was 27% efficient when converting sunlight into energy — compared with the approximate 22% efficiency of silicon panels on the market today. The ...

So rather than having the entire material vibrate, the new design relies on tiny domes on a thin layer of piezoelectric material, each of which vibrates. These domes, each only a few hair-widths ...
