Scientists look at how the molecular structures of organic solar cells form

Researchers analyzed how organic solar cells? crystal structures develop as they are produced under different conditions.

Rewritable nanowires could mean no more obsolete circuitry

An electric field switches the conductivity on and off in atomic-scale channels, which could allow for upgrades at will.

Bridging tumor moats with potent drug delivery particles

Scientists show that, by cloaking anti-cancer drugs in a specially designed particle, they could target and destroy tumor cells deep inside a malignant mass in vitro.

New oxide and semiconductor combination builds new device potential

Researchers integrated oxide two-dimensional electron gases with gallium arsenide and paved the way toward new opto-electrical devices.

Filtering water better than nature

Water passes through human-made straws faster than the 'gold standard' protein, allowing to filter seawater.

Graphene foam can act as efficient solar thermal capture and conversion device

Researchers have demonstrated that a simple sheet of standalone graphene foam can act as efficient solar thermal capture and conversion device.

Self-healing of solar cells ecplored with photoconductive AFM

A team of researchers have disclosed in which location self-healing occurs for the future solar cells through the use of Photoconductive Atomic Force Microscope.

Atomically controlled gas sensing

An international team of scientists have solved the stucture of a gas sensing surface of tin dioxide, opening the way to advanced device design.

Making the Internet of Things possible with a new breed of memristors

Researchers show how they have fabricated a new breed of 'ferroelectric tunnel junctions', that is, few-nanometre-thick ferroelectric thin films sandwiched between two electrodes. They have abilities beyond existing technologies and bode well for energy-efficient and stable neuromorphic computing.

A rare quantum state realized in a new material

A revolutionary material harbors magnetism and massless electrons that travel near the speed of light--for future ultrasensitive, high-efficiency electronics and sensors.
