Each year, scientists with the Office of Science, at our national laboratories, and supported by the Office of Science at the nation’s colleges and universities, publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in the Office of Science as publication highlights of special note.
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
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
