Perovskites may give silicon solar cells a run ... Crystal clear? Perovskites may give silicon solar cells a run ... and transport them to electrode layers on the cell’s outer faces, ...

In the quartz sample that they studied, for example, the researchers found that two crystal faces growing from the same fluid at the same time actually formed at rates that differed by a factor of 10.

The idea with silicon-based quantum computers is that impurities form the basis of a qubits. If you drop a single phosphorous atom into a silicon crystal, it replaces a silicon atom.
