Using Nanotechnology to Improve Performance of Solar Cell

Solar cells of the future may look totally black to the human eye because they absorb light so efficiently. That's the promise of new research from an interdisciplinary team at the University of Virginia being funded by a new U.Va. Collaborative Sustainable Energy Seed Grant worth about $30,000.

World's First All-Integrated Sensor Circuit Based on Nanowire Arrays

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on nanowire arrays, combining light sensors and electronics made of different crystalline materials. Their method can be used to reproduce numerous such devices with high uniformity.

Researchers Revealed Structures of Uncharged Gold Nano Particles for First Time

If someone is charged up, the colour of their face might change, but they don't immediately pull off one of their arms, only to reattach it as a third leg. With some molecules, however, the situation is quite different - for example, in a gold cluster with seven atoms.

Scientists Produced the Brightest, Sharpest X-Ray Holograms of Microscopic Objects Ever Made

The pinhole camera, a technique known since ancient times, has inspired a futuristic technology for lensless, three-dimensional imaging. Working at both the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and at FLASH, the free-electron laser in Hamburg, Germany, an international group of scientists has produced two of the brightest, sharpest x-ray holograms of microscopic objects ever made, thousands of times more efficiently than previous x-ray-holographic methods.

XRD Imaging of an Aerogel Revealed Nanoscale 3-D Bulk Lattice Structure

A multi-institutional team of scientists has used beamline 9.0.1 at the Advanced Light Source to perform high-resolution x-ray diffraction imaging of an aerogel for the first time, revealing its nanoscale three-dimensional bulk lattice structure down to features measured in nanometers, billionths of a meter.

The Closer You Get, The More Interesting Phenomena You Find

Many of us have been fascinated by the concept of absolute zero, the temperature at which everything comes to a complete stop. But physics tells us otherwise: absolute zero cannot be reached but only approached, and the ...
