MIT engineers report creating the first high-quality thin films of a new family of semiconductor materials. Ultrastable and made of inexpensive, nontoxic elements, the chalcogenide perovskites could have many applications, including solar cells and lighting.

Excellent photovoltaic components combine several beneficial features, including strong charge carrier mobility and significant optical absorption, all of which are supported by tiny efficient masses.

European team develops magnetoferritin compound to improve the quality of MRI imaging for oncology diagnostics

New advances in fields including microfluidics could be possible with a new coating that allows liquids to move across surfaces without fluid loss.

Inspired by natural materials such as cactus leaves or spider silk, researchers in U of T’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have developed a

A newly developed coating that allows for certain liquids to move across surfaces without fluid loss could usher in new advances in a range of fields

Device protects human liver cells producing critical biomolecules for six months in mice

The material is well-suited to bioprinting because it can retain its shape after processing.
