Of the many feats achieved by artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to process images quickly and accurately has had an ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

You may not give much thought to the environmental impact your driveway, but slowing down the flow of water with a permeable surface is very eco-friendly.

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

In the 1930s, the Switzer brothers stumbled onto a way to mimic fluorescence. That led to Day-Glo, which has been making the world a brighter place ever since ...

Matthew Fuchter, who develops novel molecular systems at the University of Oxford, calls this “an exciting study [that] ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

Buying a new TV is an exciting time. You can’t wait to take it out of the box, get all the accessories out, mount it, and ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

Plants need 16 elements for normal growth. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and ...

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...
