New Ionic Liquid Breaks Stability Barrier for Perovskite Solar Cells
A new ionic liquid additive developed by researchers at Purdue and Emory universities could transform perovskite solar technology. The compound stabilises crystal growth and buried interfaces, dramatically slowing heat- and light-driven degradation. Solar cells treated with the additive retained about 90% of their efficiency after 1,500 hours at 90...

Uranus and Neptune May Be Rock-Dominated Planets, Study Suggests
Uranus and Neptune may not be true ice giants after all. New research using advanced hybrid simulations suggests the distant planets could be dominated by rocky material rather than water-rich ices. The findings challenge decades of planetary models and may help explain the planets’ unusual, non-dipolar magnetic fields. Scientists say future dedi...

War-Torn Chernobyl Nuclear Plant's Protective Shield Damaged: UN Agency
A protective shield at the Chornobyl nuclear plant in war-torn Ukraine, built to contain radioactive material from the 1986 disaster, can no longer perform its main safety function due to drone damage, the UN nuclear watchdog said

NotebookLM App Gets an In-Built Camera, Lets Users Upload Images as a Source
Google’s NotebookLM app now includes a built-in camera on Android and iOS, letting users capture photos of handwritten notes, whiteboards or printed documents and add them as sources. Users can also upload images directly from their gallery. The update expands input options beyond text, PDFs and audio, making it easier to digitise analogue materi...

"Baseless": India Rejects Pak's Airspace Denial Claims For Sri Lanka Aid
India has granted rapid clearance for Pakistan's aid flight carrying relief material to cyclone-hit Sri Lanka, firmly rejecting "baseless and misleading" claims circulating in Pakistani media that New Delhi had denied permission to use its airspace.

Researchers Develop New Materials for Truly Stretchable OLED Screens
Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded in a gallium–indium alloy, allowing it to “crackle” and self-heal under strain as liquid metal fills emerging gaps. Alongside this, a newly designed stretchy conductive polymer mai...

Scientists Create Bullet-Proof Fiber Stronger and Thinner Than Kevlar
Researchers have created a new fiber that surpasses Kevlar in bullet-stopping power while being much thinner. Made by aligning advanced aramid chains with carbon nanotubes, the material absorbs over twice as much energy as previous record-holding fibers. The breakthrough could lead to lighter, stronger armor for military, law enforcement and person...

Physicists Reveal a New Type of Twisting Solid That Behaves Almost Like a Living Material
The discovery of “rotating crystals” marks a major leap in physics and materials research. These unusual solids, composed of spinning particles, behave almost like living systems—twisting, fragmenting, and rebuilding themselves.
