Surprising Discovery: Excited Electrons Straighten Perovskite Nanocrystals

(IN BRIEF) Researchers from ETH Zurich, Empa, and Stanford University have made a remarkable discovery that excited electrons can straighten the crystal lattice of perovskite nanocrystals, increasing their symmetry rather than causing disorder. This unexpected finding could pave the way … Read the full press release
