Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Medical devices that interface with the human body need power sources as safe as they are reliable. While sophisticated electronics can monitor health conditions and deliver ...

Erasable electric fields written by laser light onto crystal surfaces can trap, align, and release living cells without ...

Imagine not needing a battery to power a remote control or electricity to capture solar energy. University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a material made of tiny crystals that can ...

It takes just two words and a date to state President-elect Joe Biden’s goal for eliminating carbon emissions from the U.S. electric grid. How to do it is something else entirely. Drafting a blueprint ...

To convert heat into electricity, easily accessible materials from harmless raw materials open up new perspectives in the development of safe and inexpensive so-called thermoelectric materials. A ...

Although healing crystals can create a mood boost, a heightened sense of self-awareness, and a perceived feeling of serenity, most of the belief in the scientific community is that crystal healing and ...
