(Nanowerk News) Researchers have shown how to increase the efficiency of thin-film solar cells, a technology that could bring low-cost solar energy. The approach uses 3-D "photonic crystals" to absorb ...

The tool lets users build apps without coding by describing what they want in natural language, with Gemini models generating ...

This news release is available in German. Using a new procedure researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximillians University of Munich (LMU) can now produce extremely ...

This is an electronmicroscopical image of the germanium-structure after removal of the polymer templates. The material forms an inverse opal-structure, which can be filled with suitable polymers to ...

Solar cells are a great alternative energy source – when the Sun is out. To reap the benefits of solar power at other times requires some means of energy storage, and a popular choice is splitting ...

Perfect synthetic opals could be produced by copying a technique used by a small beetle, say researchers in this week’s Nature. “The interesting thing is that this has been found in a living organism, ...

For years, building even a simple app meant choosing a programming language, setting up frameworks, and wrestling with logic ...

The illustrations at the top (steps A through D) depict the creation of 3-D "photonic crystals" to improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells, a technology that could bring low-cost solar energy.
