Twisting molecule wrings more power from solar cells
Readily rotating molecules let electrons last, resulting in higher solar cell efficiency.
Electron backscatter diffraction yields microstructure insights
Soft magnetic materials are required for electrical motors, and their magnetic properties depend on their composition and structure. This methodology examines both.
An acoustic cage for electrons
International team of scientist develops new concept for trapping and manipulating electrons with sound waves.
Butterfly-inspired photovoltaics enhances light absorption by up to 200 percent
The wings of the butterfly Pachliopta aristolochiae are drilled by nanostructures (nanoholes) that help absorbing light over a wide spectrum far better than smooth surfaces. Researchers have now succeeded in transferring these nanostructures to solar cells.
Essential quantum computer component downsized by two orders of magnitude
Researchers have built compact photon directional devices. Their micrometer-scale, nonmagnetic devices route microwave photons and can shield qubits from harmful noise.
