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).
Zip it Up!! Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles via Intrachain Radical Polymerization
Dynamic synthetic polymer systems are emerging as modules to study structure-property functions, motivated largely by Nature’s biopolymers.
2D Materials – Beyond Silicone and Graphene
Michael Bojdys introduces a new class of two-dimensional polymeric materials for semiconductors.
Direct insertion of nanowires into living algal cells
The direct insertion of nanowires into living algal cells using inkjet printing technology is demonstrated.
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...

The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
Carbononics – a new special issue in pss RRL
A Carbononics special issue in pss RRL – integrating electronics, photonics and spintronics with graphene quantum dots.
A Unified View of Dynamic Interfaces
Researchers from the University of Akron provide an early picture of a unified understanding of dynamic interfaces in nanostructured polymeric materials.
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...
