Organometal halide perovskite-based solar cells represent a major breakthrough in emerging photovoltaic technology as the reported power conversion efficiency has extended beyond 20%.
We discovered dislocations in the electrical double layer (EDL) in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) by direct 3D atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging with molecular resolution.
Researchers have developed a process1 to make thermosets—plastics once stuck in their final forms due to cross-linking of chemical bonds—that can now be reshaped and reused.
A multimodal imaging platform was developed that, for the first time, provides co-registered topographic, nanomechanical, and chemical imaging information (via mass spectrometry) of a surface with submicron pixel size.
A hypercrosslinked polymer was synthesized by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation of a phenolic resin with a robust mesoporous framework to avoid framework shrinkage and maximize retention of organic functional groups.
ORNL researchers successfully developed a so
Recent study reveals double-magic nature of radioactive 132Sn and stable 208Pb through lifetime and cross-section measurements of single-neutron states in adjacent nuclei.
