Research Summaries

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

Soft matter encompasses a broad swath of materials, including liquids, polymers, gels, foam and—most importantly—biomolecules. At the

The photoluminescence efficiency is characterized by the ratio of light emitted to the amount of energy deposited into the system. For advanced

To address the damage caused by scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, a team at the Molecular Foundry developed a new imaging

Working at the Molecular Foundry using a cutting-edge electron microscope technique coupled with a protein-staining process and sophisticated

Theory predicts that graphene could be much better at detecting noxious gases if impurities, or dopants, were incorporated into its rigid framework
