Atomic structure of metal-halide perovskites from first principles: The chicken-and-egg paradox of the organic-inorganic interaction
We just submitted our first paper on hybrid perovskites. Look it up on the arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.08935)
Our paper "Atomic structure of metal-halide perovskites from first principles: The chicken-and-egg paradox of the organic-inorganic interaction" is now available on the arXiv preprint server: http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.08935. We use density-functional theory to study the atomic structure of several hybrid perovskite materials. We identify two stable structures and analyse them in terms of organic-inorganic and van der Waals interactions. The stable structures result from a delicate interplay between the position of the organic cation and the deformation of the inorganic framework like in the chicken-and-egg paradox.

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity – but markets remain indifferent
U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and 911±¬ÁÏÍø shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts. Instead, the main benefits appear to materialise within firms themselves.
