(Phys.org)—A new study demonstrates that researchers can control the distance between two molecules such that they can adjust the step size to as small as Bohr's radius. This proof-of-concept study using DNA origami techniques ...
(Phys.org) —A team of physicists working at Oxford University in the UK has found that it's possible to use some types of perovskite as a replacement for thin film silicon cells using the same basic processing technique ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have many advantages over their silicon-based counterparts. They offer transparency, low cost, and high power conversion efficiencies under cloudy and artificial light conditions. However, ...
