Graphyne is a crystalline form of carbon that is distinct from both diamond and graphite. Unlike diamond, where each atom possesses four immediate neighbors, or graphite, where each atom has three, graphyne's structure combines ...
In a study that unlocks exciting possibilities for solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on materials known as perovskites, RIKEN researchers have refined techniques for controlling the optical and electronic ...
Discarded food scraps, stray branches, seashells and many other natural materials are key ingredients in a new system that can pull drinkable water out of thin air developed by researchers from The University of Texas at ...
Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on them. This finding could help to exploit the process in applications such as solar power and biological ...
A new study led by Rice University materials scientist Lane Martin sheds light on how the extreme miniaturization of thin films affects the behavior of relaxor ferroelectrics—materials with noteworthy energy-conversion ...
Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of energy. Using a device called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), mechanical energy can be converted ...
A research team led by Dr. David Helman from the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed a novel machine learning model employing hyperspectral imaging to assess the ...
A team of UConn College of Engineering (CoE) researchers have achieved a major milestone in the field of phononics with the first experimental demonstration of an all-flat phononic band structure (AFB). Phononics concerns ...
A combined team of chemists and nano-scientists at Cornell University has developed a wireless microelectronic device powered by light that can convert a well plate into an array of small electrochemical reactors.
Heat management at the nanoscale has long been a cornerstone of advanced technological applications, ranging from high-performance electronics to quantum computing. Addressing this critical challenge, we have been deeply ...
