A new approach captures ultra-thin pentacene film growth in real time, explaining the origin of grooves at silica–gold electrode interfaces. Imagine being able to follow individual molecules as they ...

Solar cell efficiency is limited because light at wavelengths shorter than the cell’s absorption threshold does not channel any of its excess energy into the generated electricity. Congreve et al.

As the price of energy continues to rise, businesses are looking to renewable energy for cheaper sources of power. Making electricity from the most plentiful of these sources - the sun -can be ...

If you've ever taken a chemistry class, you have seen plenty of diagrams of molecules. If you made it to organic chemistry, you fiddled with one of the tinker-toy-like molecule kits, building your own ...

Researchers developed a tripodal triptycene scaffold that facilitates the assembly of 2D molecular structures, enabling efficient singlet fission with pentacene chromophores. This innovative approach ...

Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have developed a new method for visualizing material defects in thin-film solar cells. An LMU research team led by Bert Nickel has, for ...

Research in the field of material science and electronics relies on the innovative arrangement of molecules or atoms to develop materials with unique properties not found in conventional materials.
