The TOPCon solar cells fabricated with screen-printed, fire-through copper rear contacts and silver front contacts, using laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO) to significantly reduce contact ...

A copper-based agent complex kills cancer cells in a novel way. It receives its activation signal through light. It could help where existing chemotherapy treatments reach their limits. Cuproptosis ...

While toxic in high concentrations, copper is essential to life as a trace element. Many tumors require significantly more copper than healthy cells for growth—a possible new point of attack for ...

Cuproptosis is fundamentally different from all previously known mechanisms of cell death: The deciding trigger is an excess of copper in the cell. It binds to certain proteins in the mitochondria ...

Recent results demonstrate that copper pastes can be co-fired with commercial silver pastes. LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com ...

Researchers in Japan have achieved a 12.28% efficiency in a copper gallium selenide solar cell, the highest reported for indium-free wide-bandgap chalcogenide absorbers in the 1.65–1.75 eV range. The ...
