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...

Genetically engineering plants is a time-intensive process. Methods currently
used to deliver genetic changes are imprecise, so it's often necessary to
generate thousands of plants to find one that happens to have the desired
alteration....

Abstract:
The ultimate electronic energy-storage device would store plenty of energy
but also charge up rapidly and provide powerful bursts when needed. Sadly,
today's devices can only do one or the other: capacitors provide...
