Developing smart light traps inspired by photosynthesis

Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have applied this principle as the basis for developing new sustainable processes which in the future ...

MXene interlayers: New proton hydration structure determined

MXenes are able to store large amounts of electrical energy like batteries and to charge and discharge rather quickly like a supercapacitor. They are thus a very interesting class of materials for energy storage. The material ...

Color-coding aids evaluation of new solar tech materials

To develop more efficient next-generation materials for solar energy harvesting, researchers must learn to control the way molecules interact—their "coherence" when they absorb light. To gain this control, researchers need ...
