A surprising discovery has been made about hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells. Contrary to expectations, a diode composed of the conductive organic PEDOT:PSS and an n-type silicon absorber material behaves […]

Human consumption of bacterially contaminated water causes millions of deaths each year throughout the world–primarily among children. While studying the material properties of paper as a graduate student, […]

Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have used a unique nano-optical probe to study the effects of illumination on two-dimensional […]

The scientists whose job it is to test the limits of what nature–specifically chemistry– will allow to exist, just set up shop on some new real estate on the Periodic Table. Using a method they invented for […]

Researchers from Jülich have, together with colleagues from Austria, Italy, Colombia and the USA, developed a model system for so-called soft colloids. The model gives us a better understanding of correlations […]
