Researchers explain visible light from 2D lead halide perovskites

Work resolves mystery and offers new path for light-emitting and other devices.

Researchers reduce toxic lead in perovskite solar cells

Researchers detail how they have produced a solar cell which contains 50 percent less lead with the more innocuous tin.

Researchers unveil how soft materials react to deformation at molecular level

Before designing the next generation of soft materials, researchers must first understand how they behave during rapidly changing deformation. In a new study, researchers challenged previous assumptions regarding polymer behavior with newly developed laboratory techniques that measure polymer flow at the molecular level.

Branching out: Making graphene from gum trees

Researchers have developed a cost-effective and eco-friendly way of producing graphene using one of Australia's most abundant resources, eucalyptus trees.

Bionic underwater nanogenerator takes cues from electric eels

Researchers have developed a bionic stretchable nanogenerator that takes inspiration from electric eels.

How to bend waves to arrive at the right place

Waves do not always spread uniformly into all directions, but can form a remarkable 'branched flow'. Researchers now have developed a method to control this phenomenon.
