| The latest fashion: Graphene edges can be tailor-made Posted: 23 Jan 2015 04:02 PM PST Theorists show it may be possible to tune graphene edges by varying heat and force as graphene is fractured. Edge configurations affect graphene's electronic and mechanical properties, which are important for applications.  |
| Silver nanowires demonstrate unexpected self-healing mechanism: Potential for flexible electronics Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST Researchers found that silver nanowires can withstand strong cyclic loads, which is a key attribute needed for flexible electronics.  |
| New technique helps probe performance of organic solar cell materials Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:07 AM PST Researchers have developed a technique for determining the role that a material's structure has on the efficiency of organic solar cells, which are candidates for low-cost, next generation solar power. The researchers used the technique to determine that materials with a highly organized structure at the nanoscale are not more efficient at creating free electrons than poorly organized structures -- a finding which will guide future research and development efforts.  |
