Scientists synthesize what could be a low-cost, earth-abundant material that splits water to make hydrogen fuel.
Sub-nanometer molecular asymmetry between the two different faces of nanoparticle membranes formed at air-water interface is revealed.
Demonstration of room temperature, single photon emission in doped carbon nanotubes opens a new path toward quantum information technologies.
Boundaries between crystalline grains - usually detrimental - can also boost charge collection in hybrid solar cells.
A novel approach to design and assembly of nanotextured surfaces on photovoltaic devices could improve energy collection.
Oppositely charged polymer chains can be “right-handed,” “left-handed,” or have no “handedness” at all, which controls whether a solid or liquid forms.
Ultrafast laser shots act like dopants to create new electronic properties in materials.
Scientists reveal that coupling between electrons and atomic vibrations play a key role in this vexing phenomenon.
First prototypes of aluminum-ion batteries charge quickly and have the potential for long lifetimes, low cost, and safe operation.
Surprising order found in bundles of protein filaments that move chaotically and form liquid crystals that could led to novel self-healing.
Penetrating x-rays can image defects and phase changes during battery charging and discharging.
Near the onset of superconductivity, continuous exchange of electrons occurs between distinct, liquid-like magnetic phases in an iron-based superconductor.
