How two-dimensional nano materials can help perovskite solar cells |
點閱次數: 31 |
Traditional solar cells primarily use silicon as its main material. However, with rapid advancements in technology, perovskite solar cells—a third-generation technology with lower costs and shorter production times—are now considered the most promising alternative to silicon-based solar cells. Professor Wen-Chin Lin of the Department of Physics at National Taiwan Normal University leads a research team that is actively exploring the potential of perovskite materials. They are attempting to combine ferromagnetic metals with perovskite, but achieving a stable bond between these two distinct materials presents a significant challenge. To overcome this, the team has successfully used two-dimensional materials to address surface tension issues, offering new insights into semiconductor material research. more |

New Technology Proves Key to Parkinson's Disease Treatment |
點閱次數: 90 |
Taiwan has approximately 50,000 to 100,000 Parkinson's disease patients, but there is currently no cure. Levodopa is an important medication for treating Parkinson's disease, but its concentration is difficult to control. When the concentration is too high, it can cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting. A research team led by Professor Yi-Chun Yeh from the Department of Chemistry at National Taiwan Normal University has developed a new thermostable enzyme derived from the thermophilic bacterium Streptomyces sclerotialus. Using a red fluorescent signal, this enzyme can detect the presence of levodopa in just 30 minutes, potentially improving the safety of levodopa treatment. more |
