Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells. These cells have high efficiency, are flexible, and can be printed, among other features. However, lead was initially used in their manufacture, and its toxicity has become an environmental issue. Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells. These cells have high efficiency, are…

A single gene that regulates testosterone levels in a “crazy” species of shore bird controls the development of three wildly different types of males, an international study involving researchers at Simon Fraser University has found. A single gene that regulates testosterone levels in a “crazy” species of shore bird controls the development of three wildly different…
