Researchers uncover recipe for controlling carbon nanotubes

(PhysOrg.com) -- Carbon nanotubes hold promise for delivering medicine directly to a tumor; acting as sensors so keen they detect the arrival or departure of a single electron; replacing costly platinum in fuel cells; or ...

Lead-free magnetic perovskites

Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, working with the perovskite family of materials, have developed an optoelectronic magnetic double perovskite. The discovery opens the possibility to couple spintronics with optoelectronics ...

Imaging algorithm gathers information about how cells move

Brown University engineers have developed a new technique to help researchers understand how cells move through complex tissues in the body. They hope the tool will be useful in understanding all kinds of cell movements, ...

New material promises better solar cells

Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology show that a recently discovered class of materials can be used to create a new kind of solar cell.

Breakthrough furnace can cut solar costs

(PhysOrg.com) -- Solar cells, the heart of the photovoltaic industry, must be tested for mechanical strength, oxidized, annealed, purified, diffused, etched, and layered.

New solar cell self-repairs like natural plant systems

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers are creating a new type of solar cell designed to self-repair like natural photosynthetic systems in plants by using carbon nanotubes and DNA, an approach aimed at increasing service life and ...
