A breakthrough at Rice University has led to the development of more stable and efficient perovskite solar cells, using a templating method with two-dimensional perovskites, promising lower-cost, flexible solar panels as an alternative to traditional…
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a portable lab-on-a-chip device that uses blood to generate electricity, enabling on-the-spot diagnosis. This technology, which measures blood electrical conductivity, can assess health parameters and may transform…
Researchers have created a flexible, waterproof organic photovoltaic film that can be integrated into clothing and remain functional after exposure to water and mechanical stress, paving the way for advanced wearable solar-powered devices. Researchers at…
The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical…
Scientific visualization of the AI-guided assembly of a novel metal-organic framework with high carbon dioxide adsorption capacity and synthesizable linkers. Building blocks, predicted by generative AI, are shown on the left, while the final AI-predicted…
The aerogels are fabricated using aqueous solutions and do not require complex fabrication procedures, thereby holding great promise for large-scale sustainable production at a low cost. Credit: Thor Balkhed Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden…
ETH doctoral student Marie Perrin presents the new recycling approach. In her left hand, she is holding the raw material in the form of a fluorescent lamp and, in her right, the yellow reagent that…
Researchers have developed the world’s first quantum sensor capable of sensing atomic-scale electric and magnetic fields using a single molecule attached to a scanning tunneling microscope. This breakthrough provides unparalleled spatial resolution, akin to an…
Boston University’s robot MAMA BEAR autonomously creates and tests energy-absorbing structures, recently achieving a record 75% efficiency, with applications ranging from shipping materials to military gear. Credit: Devin Hahn, Boston University Productions An autonomous robot…
