Ultrathin Co3O4 Layers with Large Contact Area on Carbon Fibers as High-Performance Electrode
Researchers have developed a high-performance, flexible air electrode for the Zn–air battery by devising a simple fabrication technique.
Charge Transport in Conjugated Polymers – Insights from Single Crystals
A breakthrough in producing high quality conjugated polymer single crystals is demonstrated by physical vapor transport and topochemical-polymerization. Intra- and inter-chain charge transport can be measured separately in an individual conjugated polymer single crystal.
Recent Progress in the Applications of Vanadium-Based Oxides on Energy Storage
Researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics review the current developments and future opportunities for the application of vanadium-based oxides in Li- and Na-ion batteries.
The High Impact of Advanced Science
Advanced Science celebrates its new impact factor with the publication of an exclusive review issue.
Selenium-Doped GLS Glass for Combined Thermal and Visible Imaging
Researchers from the Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton, improve the infrared transmission range of GLS glass for devices with combined thermal and optical imaging.
Electricity-Free Memory Cloth
New memory cloth does not use any electricity and will be able to be worn like normal clothing.
Storing Energy in a Rose
A special structure for storing energy known as a supercapacitor has been constructed in a plant for the first time.
Flexible Graphene Energy Storage Membrane
An easy, step-by-step filtration forms energy-storing membranes with good mechanical stability, taking the sandwiched form of rGO-TiO2/rGO/rGO-TiO2.
Ultrathin Superconducting Film
Physicists have developed a thin nanomaterial with superconducting properties. Below -200°C these materials conduct electricity without loss, levitate magnets and can screen magnetic fields.
