A Living Cartilage Scaffold
Professor Dong-An Wang and co-workers seek to revolutionize cartilage surgery through the development of a new type of surgical graft.
Who wants a defective solar cell?
Professor Bruce Clemens and co-workers have shown that the presence of defects in CZTS solar cells brings about an increase in solar cell efficiency, in contrast to the behavior of classic semiconductor materials. This could lead to the developmemt of a commercially-viable solar cell made of earth- abundant raw materials.
Giving Order to Hybrid Materials
A new hybrid structure of ZnO nanowires and polythiophenes with nanometer-scale ordering and a high crystallinity could be used for hybrid photovoltaics.
Cooking Cancer with Lasers and Gold
A nanostructure of silicon and gold is 4 times as effective at killing cancer cells in cell culture experiments as gold nanoshells alone.
What’s the charge for 3-D electronic conduction?
Xavier Crispin and his research team have shown that the type of electronic conduction observed in electrochemical transistors is highly dependent upon the capacitance of the device gate electrode.
