First transparent solar cells developed by physicists of Leipzig University
Prof. Marius Grundmann from Universität Leipzig and his PhD student Robert Karsthof, MSc, and further coworkers have presented the first such transparent solar cell in a recent article in physica status solidi (a).
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
Carbononics – a new special issue in pss RRL
A Carbononics special issue in pss RRL – integrating electronics, photonics and spintronics with graphene quantum dots.
Inkjet Printed Polyimide Films for Capacitors
Fan Zhang, Christopher Tuck, Richard Hague, Yinfeng He, Ehab Saleh, You Li, Craig Sturgess and Ricky Wildman present the first continuous fabrication of inkjet-printed polyimide films in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. The films were then used as insulating...
Paper call: Special Issue, Journal of Applied Polymer Science
Submit a paper to a Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Polymer Science on Structure, Properties and Applications of Thermoelectric Polymers
Nitrogen Doping of Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites
Researchers from the University of Calgary in Canada and Washington State University Tri-Cities in the US manipulated the structure of CNTs by introducing nitrogen between carbon atoms in CNTs, and succeeded in improving the charge storage capacity of CNT/polymer nanocomposites.
Remote control actuation goes down to nanoscale
Nano-actuated magneto-mechanical devices can change shape on command using a remote magnetic external stimulus, with a control at the subnanometer scale.
Handwritten, soft circuit boards using nanoparticles
This video shows that it is possible to ‘mechanically sinter’ liquid metal nanoparticles to form soft, electrically conductive traces by hand.
Mimicking human skin with haptic pressure sensors
Chen et al. have developed haptic memory arrays which can detect and retain external pressure distribution.
