E-Mail COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The U.S. Army plans to cooperate in artificial intelligence research with teams led by the University of Maryland, College Park and in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The cooperative agreement brings together a collaborative of nearly 30 diverse experts in engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity. With the Army's goal of seeking transformational advances in artificial intelligence and autonomy, Army and academic officials said this partnership will "accelerate the devel...
Ultrathin Gold Film is an Ideal Candidate for Perovskite Solar Cells Written by AZoMMay 31 2021 According to an international team of researchers, designing new ultrathin metal electrodes has enabled scientists to make semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are highly effective and can be paired with conventional silicon cells to considerably increase the performance of both devices. Scientists found using a chromium seed layer allowed them to grow ultrathin gold film that serves as a transparent electrode with good conductivity for perovskite solar cells.
