Control of polymer morphology and chain orientation is of great importance in
organic solar cells and field effect transistors (OFETs). Here we report the use
of nanoimprint lithography to fabricate large-area, high-density, and ordered...

In a blown-up image from a scanning tunneling microscope, it looks just like
an endless sheet of chicken wire: a simple flat sheet made up of a lattice of
hexagons. But this nanoscopic material called graphene, first generally
acknowledged...

Traditionally, stimulating nerves or brain tissue involves cumbersome wiring
and a sharp metal electrode. But a team of researchers at Case Western Reserve
University is going "wireless."
And it's a unique collaboration...

One problem with solar cells is that they only produce
electricity during the day. A promising way to use the sun's energy more
efficiently is to enlist it to split water into hydrogen gas that can be stored
and then...
