Introducing high-performance non-fullerene organic solar cells

Researchers have introduced a novel method that can solve issues associated with the thickness of the photoactive layers in organic solar cells.

3D-printing colloidal crystals

Engineers have united the principles of self-assembly and 3-D printing using a new technique.

Boron nitride separation process could facilitate higher efficiency solar cells

A team of semiconductor researchers has used a boron nitride separation layer to grow indium gallium nitride (InGaN) solar cells that were then lifted off their original sapphire substrate and placed onto a glass substrate.

Charged polymer nanoballs attack tumors directly, without drugs

By using nanosized charged polymer balls to attack tumors directly rather than carry drugs, researchers have found a way to overcome drug resistance.

Tuning into the potential of phosphorene

Better understanding of the wetting characteristics of phosphorene could pave the way for new applications in biological engineering.

Building miniature lasers using nanowire

Researchers have built a miniature laser in the form of a nanowire. It's the uniformity of the superlattice of the nanowire that makes this miniature laser exceptional.

International nanotechnology authorities dialogue

At this recent meeting, environmental, health and workers protection authorities as well as industry, science and civil society organisations discussed current topics in the area of nano governance.
