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.

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

Scientists have built a qubit, or quantum bit, that can achieve "quantum coherence" at room temperature — something normally only possible at temperatures close to absolute zero. To achieve quantum ...

Abstract: Pentacene-based planar- and vertical-type organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) are investigated in this paper. High operation voltages are observed for the planar-type OTFTs with top source ...

Abstract: In this article, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and pentacene double sensing membranes were used in organic thin-film transistor-structured ethanol gas sensors. To study the thickness effect ...

Researchers have observed electrons jumping between different energy levels in an individual molecule, and how the jumps can be suppressed when the excess energy is transferred instead to a nearby ...

Since graphene has a low absorption coefficient in the absorption band, researchers generally use graphene as a carrier collection layer, and look for another strong light-absorbing material as the ...

Solar panels could be improved by arranging their molecules in a certain pattern, according to new research led by Imperial and UCL. Renewable solar power can be harnessed using solar cells, which are ...

Oligoacenes have recently received much attention because of their ability to undergo singlet fission, a process which may improve the energy conversion efficiency in organic solar cells. Here, we ...
