Scientists find that holes can also improve technology, including medical devices. The article describes an entirely new way to make a solar cell: by etching holes in the top layer… Read More »Sponge-like solar cells could be basis for better pacemakers
Scientists have revealed the effect of temperature on water in protein-ligand interactions, providing a way to produce structures for drug discovery that are less biased by freezing artifacts. Go to… Read More »Unfreezing waters in ligand binding sites
Current technologies to modulate light in free space are bulky, slow, static, or inefficient. Now researchers have developed a compact and tunable electro-optic modulator for free space applications that can… Read More »High-speed, efficient and compact electro-optic modulators for free space
Owing to their unique permeable, hollow shell structures with inner, movable cores, yolk-shell nanocrystals are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Yolk-shell nanocrystals consisting of a gold core with… Read More »Yolk-shell nanocrystals with movable gold yolk: Next generation of photocatalysts
A new study shows a deep connection between some of the largest, most energetic events in the universe and much smaller, weaker ones powered by our own Sun. Go to… Read More »Colossal collisions linked to solar system science
