Scientists from the Sweden’s Gothenburg University have shown the possibility to sort and count particles or aggregates formed by particles. As already know naonparticles of substances can be counted and the size distribution can be determined by dispersing them into a gas. Sometimes nanoparticles tend to aggregate when conditions are changing. Nanoparticles are parts of […]

Solar cells are a key technology in the drive toward cleaner energy production. Unfortunately, solar technology is not yet economically competitive and the cost of solar cells needs to be brought down. One way to overcome this problem is to reduce the amount of expensive semiconductor material used, but thin-film solar cells tend to have […]
