From beaker to solved 3-D structure in minutes

Team uncovers a new and simple way to learn the structures of small molecules.

Simplifying life for diabetics with a nanotechnology breakthrough

Scientists have developed a means of printing transistor-based glucose sensors directly onto a catheter attached to a wearable pump. Diabetics can program the pump to deliver insulin and glucagon, the hormones they need to regulate blood sugar.

Scientists bring polymers into atomic-scale focus

Researchers capture detailed images using electron-based imaging and computer simulations.

New records in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells through improved light management

Researchers fabricated an efficient perovskite/silicon tandem device whose silicon layer was etched on the back-side.

Ultra-thin transparent silver films for solar cells

Researchers have developed a new fabrication process for transparent ultra-thin silver films. The material may help build highly efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes.
