The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced more than $540 million in awards for university- and National Laboratory-led research into clean energy tech

Research team invents new method to accelerate materials discoveries through rapid clustering and color coding of large X-ray data sets to reveal previously hid

Solar cells based on organic molecules offer potential advantages over conventional devices for converting light into electricity. These organic solar cells could be inexpensive, durable, and easy to make. However, organic cells do not yet have performance that matches conventional devices.

Scientists have captured the first-ever view of a hidden quantum phase in a 2D crystal, tantalum disulfide. Single-shot spectroscopy techniques provided researchers with a new understanding of a mysterious light-driven process.

"The instrument," as it's called, seems to take up the entire room. The sprawling molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system is all tubes, bolts, stainless steel components, and air-tight glass. It can create an ultrahigh-vacuum environment, a space nearly devoid of matter, a space similar to that outside the International Space Station.

For the first time, researchers have used ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), an ultrafast camera for detecting tiny atomic movements, to observe a quantum electronic device as it operates.

Scientists suggest that water’s so-called “proton quantum effect” may be at the heart of many of the liquid’s strange properties. In this experiment wit

New microelectronics device can program and reprogram computer hardware on demand through electrical pulses.

Engineers have encountered difficulty in studying the basic properties of the materials involved as thermoelectric electronic, and computer technologies have been miniaturized to nanometer scale. And in many cases, targets are too small to be seen with optical instruments.
