A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology one step closer to commercial ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

Scaling up perovskites for potential widespread use in solar cells has been a challenge due to arising defects. Yi Yang, postdoctoral fellow; Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor of ...

The purpose of this article is to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the state-of-the-art technology and development surrounding in situ graphene liquid cells-TEM. Image Credit: Tatiana ...

A research team at POSTECH has developed a method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation semiconductor material, in a more uniform and efficient manner. This study is ...

(a) The process for fabricating LC phase modulator with the MMOT structure. (b) The schematic of LC phase modulator with MMOT structure. Liquid-crystal (LC) phase modulators are widely used in optical ...

I enjoyed reading the article, “A Century of Chemistry and of C&EN” in the Aug. 7/14, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18). I wanted to mention one development that was not covered in the piece. In 1966, my ...

Researchers embedded a liquid crystal layer into a waveguide that was created with direct laser writing (pictured). The resulting hybrid device can be used to change the polarization of light ...
