Scientists at Tokyo Tech have reported on inverse-perovskites that are environmentally friendly and have a high-energy conversion efficiency.

Two of the main drawbacks of using tin (Sn)-based metal halide perovskites (MHPs) in thin-film transistors have been simultaneously solved by an

Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tsubame BHB Co., Ltd. have been selected as subcontractors for the “Research and Development of Non-Precious Metal

Lanthanum trihydride, a compound of lanthanum and hydrogen, when lightly doped with oxygen shows potential as an efficient hydrogen carrier, according

The trade-off between carrier mobility and stability in amorphous oxide semiconductor-based thin film transistors (TFTs) has been finally overcome by

Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) are a promising option for the next generation of display technologies due to their low costs and high electron (charge carrier) mobility. The high mobility, in particular, is essential for high-speed images. But AOSs also have a distinct drawback that is hampering their commercialization — the mobility–stability tradeoff. One of the…

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) demonstrate that breaking the trade-off problem between thermopower and conductivity improves

An exploratory analysis of the behavior of materials with preferred electric characteristics led to the discovery of a structural phase of 2D materials.
