Microelectronic engineers from multiple institutions in China, collaborating with a Swedish counterpart, have successfully showcased a second-generation digital display screen employing perovskite light-emitting diodes, departing from conventional LED technology.
In their study published in Nature Electronics, the team enhanced the device and showcased its sensing capability.
In April, a research team, including some of the same members, demonstrated a digital display screen using LEDs composed of perovskite rather than semiconductor compounds like gallium arsenide or indium gallium nitride. They also demonstrated that such screens could function as sensing devices.
In this new study, the researchers developed a digital display device utilizing perovskite light-emitting diode (PeLED) technology, achieving double the pixel resolution.
The materials currently used to manufacture LEDs possess qualities such as high acuity and sharpness. However, the technology has limitations, including an inability to function as a sensor, necessitating the use of additional components to bridge this gap.
Researchers have been investigating perovskite to overcome this limitation, as it can both emit and absorb light, allowing it to function as a sensing device. Incorporating PeLEDs into a phone could enable the screen to sense touch, fingerprints, and ambient light, eliminating the need for extra components.

The new screen demonstrated by the research team featured a 90 ppi density, which, while significantly lower than that of current smartphone screens, represents progress toward achieving parity. It also exhibited a range of sensing capabilities. The researchers anticipate that such displays will have extended lifespans and lower energy consumption.
One major obstacle researchers must overcome is the stability of PeLEDs, as exposure to oxygen or moisture causes degradation, necessitating a solution before commercial application.

NASA chile scientists comet 3i atlas nickel mystery

NASA and Chilean Scientists Study 3I/ATLAS, A Comet That Breaks the Rules Interstellar visitors are rare guests in our Solar System , but when they appear they often rewrite the rules of astronomy. Such is the case with 3I/ATLAS , a fast-moving object that has left scientists puzzled with its bizarre behaviour. Recent findings from NASA and Chilean researchers reveal that this comet-like body is expelling an unusual plume of nickel — without the iron that typically accompanies it. The discovery challenges conventional wisdom about how comets form and evolve, sparking both excitement and controversy across the scientific community. A Cosmic Outsider: What Is 3I/ATLAS? The object 3I/ATLAS —the third known interstellar traveler after "Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019) —was first detected in July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network , which scans he skies for potentially hazardous objects. Earlier images from Chile's Vera C. Rubin Observatory had unknowingly captured it, but ...

bermuda triangle rogue waves mystery solved

Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Scientist Claims Rogue Waves May Explain Vanishing Ships and Aircraft for decades, the Bermuda Triangle has captured the world's imagination, often described as a supernatural hotspot where ships vanish and aircraft disappear without a trace. From ghostly ships adrift to unexplained plane crashes, this stretch of ocean between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida remains one of the most infamous maritime mysteries. But now, Dr. Simon Boxall, an oceanographer at the University of Southampton , suggests the answer may not be extraterrestrial at all. Instead, he argues that the truth lies in rogue waves — giant, unpredictable surges of water capable of swallowing even the largest ships within minutes. The Bermuda Triangle: A Legacy of Fear and Fascination The Bermuda Triangle has inspired decades of speculation , with theories ranging from UFO abductions to interdimensional rifts. Popular culture, documentaries and countless books have kept the legend alive, of...

nist breakthrough particle number concentration formula

NIST Researchers Introduce Breakthrough Formula for Particle Number Concentration Understanding the number of particles in a sample is a fundamental task across multiple scientific fields — from nanotechnology to food science. Scientists use a measure called Particle Number Concentration (PNC) to determine how many particles exist in a given volume, much like counting marbles in a jar. Recently, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel formula that calculates particle concentrations with unprecedented accuracy. Their work, published in Analytical Chemistry , could significantly improve precision in drug delivery, nanoplastic assessment and monitoring food additives.
