In the article “Spatial confinement tuning of quenched disorder effects and enhanced magnetoresistance in manganite nanowires” published in SCIENCE CHINA…
Another novelty was related to the measurements in the test series: They were carried out exclusively using the innovative “SweepMe!” measuring software, which…
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported a new device that can both efficiently capture solar energy and store it until it is needed, offering…
In photovoltaic cells, semiconductors will absorb photon energy, but only from photons that have the right amount of energy: too little and the photons pass…
Today, the best silicon solar cells in the world have an efficiency of 24 percent. The theoretical limit is around 29 percent. “This is because silicon…
A new solar power generator prototype developed by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and research teams in the United States, will be deployed on the…
The terahertz frequency range – which sits in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared light — offers the potential for…
In the umbrella concept “Research Fab Battery”, German scientists want to develop novel batteries that are capable of storing at least 70 percent more energy…
Batteries are rapidly becoming less expensive and might soon offer a cheap short-term solution to store energy for daily energy needs. However, the long-term…
This is the highest efficiency value ever reported for an organic photovoltaic module. It was confirmed by a certified calibrated measurement under standard…
Mosquitoes flap their wings not just to stay aloft but for two other critical purposes: to generate sound and to point that buzz in the direction of a…
Among the 3d transitional metallic compounds, the Cr and Mn based materials can hardly become superconducting due to robust static magnetism which can destroy…
Rutgers engineers have embedded high performance electrical circuits inside 3D-printed plastics, which could lead to smaller and versatile drones and…
In order to understand where strain builds up within a solar cell and triggers the energy loss, scientists must visualize the underlying grain structure of…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have reported a new mechanism to speed up the charging of lithium-ion…
The complex network of veins that keeps us cool during the heat of summer has inspired engineers to create novel thermal management systems. But replicating…
