Scientists have developed a molecule that absorbs energy from sunlight and stores it in chemical bonds. A possible long-term use of the molecule is to capture solar energy efficiently and store it for later consumption.
Using batteries made of silicon and other nanomaterials not only increases capacity, it also allows for charging batteries at a higher current, which translates to faster charging times.
Researchers have discovered what makes vanadium dioxide films conduct electricity. Their findings will enable thermal imaging devices with a sensitivity and reaction rate superior to those of the currently existing analogues.
For the first time, researchers successfully manipulated and controlled minute magnetic structures called skyrmions in ways that suggest they could be useful in electronic applications.
Researchers report a chelation strategy for surface engineering of halide perovskite, in which dithiocarbamate molecules can be coordinate to surface Pb sites via strong bidentate chelating bonding.
