The membrane separators in-between the electrodes of a redox-flow battery must allow the working ion to shuttle between the electrodes while

Biology assembles and uses discrete spaces such as organelles and protein-based compartments to localize and exquisitely control chemical processes

A common failure mechanism in lithium-metal batteries is the growth of tree-like lithium metal dendrites, resulting in short-circuiting. The growth

Silicon has been successful because it is an electronically tunable semiconductor material that can be used in electronic devices. Graphene has

It was believed that the scaffolding nature of MOFs could only be prepared from rigid starting materials. The preparation of such porous materials

This new concept involves arrays of optical nano-cavities called metamaterials, which are added to thin-layered semiconductors (heterostructures)

Scientists believed that changing only one dimension of the crystal lattice structure was impossible. Now researchers led by scientists from Oak

In the quantum mechanical phenomenon called resonant tunneling, electrons that are in a well-defined quantum well (or quantum state) can move to an

Scientists reviewed electronic structure calculations of light-driven processes in organic and semiconductor nanostructures. They also reviewed how

Solar cell performance of hybrid perovskites has improved from under 4% efficiency in 2009 to over 20% efficiency today. However, perovskite
