Optical analysis and machine learning techniques can now readily detect microplastics in marine and freshwater environments using inexpensive porous metal substrates. Details of the method, developed by researchers at Nagoya University with collaborators at the National Institute for Materials Sciences in Japan and others, are published in the journal Nature Communications.
A manufacturing technique that could double the electricity output of inexpensive solar cells by using a microscopic rake when applying light-harvesting polymers.
Berkeley Lab scientists say marriage opens door to development of single device with exceptional range of optical capabilities
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have conducted research that shows how minute variations in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can affect their optical and electronic characteristics, potentially leading to the development of novel and cutting-edge semiconductor designs.
Research led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated that small changes in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can influence their optical and electronic properties, possibly opening the way to new and advanced designs with the semiconductors.
