For the first time, researchers have managed to reliably synthesize a new allotrope of carbon called graphyne.

Researchers have shown that nanowires made from a specific isotope of silicon can conduct heat 150% more efficiently than normal silicon nanowires.

Using nanometer-thick organic semiconducting films, researchers have, for the first time, mapped how energy flows in organic solar cells.

Researchers have developed a theoretical model to explain how block copolymers can form complex structures known as double-gyroids.

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to automatically design large-scale metasurfaces for focusing, shaping and controlling light.

Invention could lead to renewable energy being stored and moved around

Researchers have shown that electric currents can flow along a topological insulator nanowire more easily in one direction than the other.

Researchers have invented a novel device known as a ‘catalytic condenser’ that can electronically modify one metal to behave like another.

Researchers have designed a catalyst of ruthenium atoms in a mesh of copper nanowires to extract ammonia and fertilizer from wastewater.
