UC San Diego Chemists Create Adaptive Protein Crystal

UC San Diego chemists have produced an ‘adaptive protein crystal’ that possesses a unique counterintuitive property, which could be useful in designing body armors and soles of running shoes. When the material is stretched in a single direction, it thickens in the perpendicular direction instead of thinning, as seen in common materials, and when the material is compressed in one dimension, it reduces in the other dimension instead of expanding and becomes thicker during the process.

Researchers Analyze Defects Appearing and Disappearing in CIGSe - Cells

Copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGSe) solar cells have the highest efficiency of polycrystalline thin-film solar cells. The four elements of CIGSe are vapor-deposited onto a substrate collectively to form an extremely thin layer of miniature chalcopyrite crystals. It is an exceptionally multifaceted process controlled by several variables.
