A new means of maximizing the efficiency of perovskite solar cells, found in the nanoscale valleys and peaks of the material, has been discovered by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Technische Universität Dortmund have examined how the interactions between solvents and biomolecules change at high pressure.
The lotus leaf has a unique feature that prevents the leaf from getting wet when rain falls on it. The water just rolls off without actually wetting the surface of the leaf. This novel characteristic has made room for the possibility of developing artificial materials that are water-repellent just like the lotus leaf.
Washington State University researchers have developed a unique, multifunctional smart material that can change shape from heat or light and assemble and disassemble itself. They have filed a provisional patent on the work.
Without detailed knowledge of the properties of the materials we use today's technology could neither function nor develop. A new description of electron scattering in the surface layers of samples proposed by the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw significantly speeds up materials analysis and enables a better understanding of what can really be seen in a sample.
Applied Materials, Inc. is revolutionizing etch technology with its Applied Producer® Selectra™ system, the industry's first extreme selectivity etch tool that introduces new materials engineering capabilities for continued scaling of 3D logic and memory chips.
When raindrops fall into bodies of water, milk is added to a cup of coffee, and in other mixing and rinsing processes, you might wonder how one liquid is absorbed by the other. Small droplets can be absorbed so fast that our minds perceive it to be instantaneous. However, in reality, there is much more to the process than first meets the eye.
An international group of scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Rostov-on-Don, China, France, and Germany have explained the movement of charge-carrying particles in perovskite.
New research reveals that a large quantity of the radioactive fallout which settled on Tokyo a couple of days following the Fukushima mishap was concentrated and deposited in non-soluble glass microparticles in the form of 'glassy soot'.
Two groups of chemists at the Universities of Basel and Zurich have reproduced an important phase of the natural photosynthesis process using artificial molecules, making the process of harvesting energy from sunlight easier. The international edition of the journal Angewandte Chemie has published the results of the study.
