Why disordered light-harvesting systems produce ordered outcomes

Scientists typically prefer to work with ordered systems. However, a diverse team of physicists and biophysicists found that individual light-harvesting nanotubes with disordered molecular structures still transport light energy in the same way.

Researchers solve decades-old problem of how to uniformly switch memristors

A uniform switching mechanism in memristors is something researchers have been looking in the last several decades.

Researchers develop a new membraneless fuel cell

Researchers have designed a green membraneless fuel cell that uses oxygen from the air.

Spinal carbon nanotube implants restore motor functions

A new study shows the efficacy of carbon nanotube implants to restore motor functions and paves the way for a new therapeutic approach for spinal cord injuries.

Cooling clothing stays flexible even when frozen

Researchers develop cooling clothing to improve human performance when exerting energy in warm environments.

Discovery of large family of two-dimensional ferroelectric metals

Scientists have discovered 16 novel ferroelectric metals from a large family (2,964) of 2D bimetal phosphates via data-driven machine learning and high-throughput first-principle calculations.

Borate-based passivation layers enable reversible calcium batteries

A new study has combined experimental and theoretical approaches to study the passivation layers formed on calcium metal electrodes and their influence on the reversible operation of calcium-based batteries.
