Mirror-image molecules steer electron spins and lift perovskite solar cell efficiency

Some molecules come in two "handed" forms. This property, called chirality, can influence not only how molecules interact with light but also which electron spins they allow to pass. Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed novel chiral hole-transport materials that shed new light on this unusual effect while also improving the interfaces of perovskite solar cells.

Perfect pitch was long thought to require a rare predisposition and musical training in early childhood. But a University of Surrey study published in February 2025 found that adults could develop it: after eight weeks of intensive training, two of 12 musicians identified all 12 notes with speed and accuracy comparable to people with naturally acquired perfect pitch.
