Researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics have developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator that uses natural water as both the electrode and the substrate. The device matches the performance of conventional generators while significantly reducing weight and cost, opening pathways to scalable, land-free clean energy applications.

Researchers from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and collaborators have built “double molecular bridges” across perovskite interfaces, unlocking ultrafast charge transport and pushing inverted perovskite solar cells to a certified fill factor of 88%, a new world record. The study was published in National Science Review (NSR).

POSTECH and Chung-Ang University team have developed a low-tortuosity, lithiophilicity-graded porous structure to suppress dendrite growth in lithium metal batteries.
