The unusual electronic and optical properties of #perovskites have long been touted as useful for improving solar cells and television screens,
but these materials have never quite hit the big time.
Existing approaches have hoovered up all the investment and attention, and perovskites remain confined to specialist applications.
Now researchers at Empa, ETH Zurich and the Politecnico…

Perovskite nanocrystal computer components inspired by brain cells
Researchers at Empa, ETH Zurich and the Politecnico di Milano are developing a new type of computer component that is more powerful and easier to manufacture than its predecessors. Inspired by the human brain, it is designed to process large amounts of data fast and in an energy-efficient way.

Towards Fearless Macros
Macros are tricky beasts. Most languages—if they have macros at all—usually include a huge “here there be dragons” warning to warn curious would-be macro programmers of the dangers that lurk ahead. What is it about macros that makes them so dangerous and unwieldy? That’s difficult to answer in general: there are many different macro systems with varying degrees of ease-of-use. Moreover, making macros easy to use safely is an open area of research—most languages that have macros don…

Raiders Receive Massive Bengals Take Amid Maxx Crosby Rumors
With the uncertainty around the Las Vegas Raiders‘ Maxx Crosby, teams are being urged to inquire about a potential trade for the veteran pass rusher. One of the latest teams to receive that message is the Cincinnati Bengals. Now the question is whether the Bengals will want to give up the draft capital needed to land someone like Crosby. Although the Bengals haven’t made the playoffs since 2023, they are in a window to compete now with Joe Burrow at quarterback. As a result, former Bengals …

Anzahl der installierten Windkraftanlagen pro Jahr in Deutschland mit Stand vom 01.12.2025. Die Grafik zeigt ein vertikales Balkendiagramm von 1949 bis 2025. Die Höhe jedes Balkens entspricht der Anzahl neuer Inbetriebnahmen pro Jahr (Wertbeschriftung auf jedem Balken). Bis Ende der 1980er Jahre liegen die jährlichen Zuwächse bei unter zehn Anlagen, ab 1990 steigt die Zahl kontinuierlich (z. B. 525 im Jahr 1996). Spitzenwerte erreichen 2159 (2023) und 2045 (2024). Deutliche Einbrüche zeigen 200…

it needed to add additional generating capacity, and fast.
New hydro wasn’t an option as it had already made the most of that resource.
To chart the way forward, the president appointed Ramón Méndez Galain,
a particle physicist from the private sector,
as the country’s director of energy
— a pos…
