Through a simple hydration and drying process, researchers from UFABC (Brazil) have converted three-dimensional perovskites into low-dimensional perovskites, thus modifying their optoelectronic properties. The discovery brings a new perspective on the interaction of water with these materials, whose degradation in contact with humidity is known. The work was reported in Journal of Materials Chemistry C. Read our news story.

Reading tips

Nature cover: Scientists make the first X-ray characterization of an individual atom. The advance, which makes it possible to determine what an atom is made of, should have a major impact on Materials Science and Technology, in addition to areas such as Medicine and Environment. Know more.

Science: Scientists increase elastomer resistance 9 times without impairing its elasticity. New material could reduce huge microplastic pollution generated by tire wear. Know more.
