Phase-chance switch can now be performed at higher temperatures.

Taking solar energy to the edge

Engineered stacked perovskite layers harvest light or create light via layer edges.

Round-the-clock power from smart bowties

Innovative diode design uses ultrafast quantum tunneling to harvest infrared energy from the environment.

Smart new method to manufacture organic solar cells

Researchers have developed an improved method to manufacture these thin and flexible solar cells.

Super-adsorbent MOF to control humidity

A metal-organic framework that can take up twice its weight in water and then release it when humidity falls.

Breathable, wearable electronics on skin for long-term health monitoring

New nanomesh structure lets skin breathe, prevents inflammation.

Bone-inspired self-crack-healing ceramics capable of quick full strength recovery

Scientists have discovered that self-healing ceramics undergo three healing stages analogous to bone healing processes: inflammation, repair and remodeling.
