Researchers have been able to capture the ephemeral electron movements in a transient state of a reaction vital in optoelectronic and biochemical procedures, and for the first time, could directly characterize it using ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Inspired by the Marvel Universe, researchers have created a self-healing polymeric material with an aim to develop self-repairing electronics and soft robotics. The polymeric material is transparent, stretchable, and conducts ions to create current. It could one day help a broken smartphone to stitch itself back together.
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University have developed elastic, touch-sensitive fibers with the capability of interfacing with electronic devices.
The importance of silicon cannot be overestimated especially with regards to solar energy, computing, and other technological applications. Element number 14 is also abundantly available in the Earth’s crust, and there is more to explore about how to harness its properties.
A recent discovery highlighted that a novel electronic phase is exhibited by alpha-tin, generally known as gray tin, when its crystal structure is strained.
A silicon wafer has tiny “black holes” that act as a new form of photodetector for potentially moving more data across a data center or around the world, in a less expensive manner. Electrical engineers at the University of California, Davis, and a Silicon Valley startup, based at Los Altos, California, called W&WSens Devices Inc., have developed this technology, which is reported in the April 3 issue of Nature Photonics.
A recent research affiliated with UNIST has revealed a new economical way to manufacture inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) which sets a new world-record efficiency performance, particularly in photostability.
The first iron-based molecule that has the potential to emit light has been developed by a research team at Lund University in Sweden. This new molecule can contribute to the production of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials such as displays, light sources and solar cells.
Using Hokkaido University’s high-voltage electron microscope, an international team of researchers have solved a four-decade old puzzle regarding the atomic structure of metallic glasses.
Researchers from Tianjin University of Technology and Harvard University have borrowed the idea of assembling building-blocks from playing with Legos to make next-generation materials a real possibility.
