Scientists open door to better solar cells, superconductors and hard-drives
The team of Asst/Prof Andrivo Rusydi from the National University of Singapore has solved a long standing mystery in the physics of condensed matter. Using Singapore Synchrotron Light Source of National University of Singapore and DESY's bright research light sources, they have opened a new door to better solar cells, novel superconductors and smaller hard-drives.
