Why does plastic turn brittle and paint fade when exposed to the sun for long periods? Scientists have long known that such ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

An inexpensive insulator has turned out to be a key material for enhancing the efficiency and lifespan of TV screens. Yonsei ...

A new experimental setup detects the faint signals of electrons, shedding new light on the physics of photodegradation.

Thirteen researchers for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and two affiliates of the Tri-Cities lab have been named to a ...

Constructing efficient and stable organic solar cells is the prerequisite toward organic photovoltaics with practical ...

A new metal free carbon catalyst made from seaweed could offer a greener way to clean antibiotic polluted water, according to a new study in Biochar X. The team reports that its porous carbon material ...

The two-terminal perovskite–silicon tandem solar cell was fabricated through a chemical polishing method that selectively removes residual lead(II)iodide from the perorvskite film in the top cell.
