A team of researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has formulated a technique for creating an ultra-high material efficient solar cell incorporating semiconductor nanowires. If this is positioned on top of a traditional silicon-based solar cell, the efficiency of present-day Si solar cells could potentially double in a cost-effective manner.
Fluorescent "dots"-that is, tiny particles that can emit light-have a multitude of promising biomedical applications, yet making such dots is usually a long, tedious process that uses harsh chemicals.
In collaboration with industry partners, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are using microscopic nanodiamonds to calibrate and assess the performance of high-powered microscopes.
Researchers have discovered a new approach for using visible-light to structurally modify bioactive molecules in chemical reactions, providing a possible sustainable alternative to traditional methods that could be used in the design and production of new medicines.
The Citrine Platform update puts accessible AI in the hands of scientists and product developers to accelerate the discovery and development of better, more sustainable materials, chemicals, and manufactured products.
