Over the past decade, we have witnessed rapid advances in the development of organic
photovoltaic devices (OPVs). At present, the highest level of efficiency has surpassed 10 …

Subwavelength metal nanoislands thermally dewetted from a thin film emerge as a powerful
and cost-effective photonic material, due to the formation of substantially strong nano-gap …

My mother began to lose her hearing while I was away at college. I would return home to
share what I'd learned, and she would lean in to hear. Soon it became difficult for her to hold …

Organic-silicon hybrid solar cells (organic/Si HSCs) have drawn much attention in the
development of modern low-cost photovoltaic solar cells. Due to simpler and less expensive …

When Sean James, who works on data-center technology for Microsoft, suggested that the
company put server farms entirely underwater, his colleagues were a bit dubious. But for …

Robotic cars are great at monitoring other cars, and they're getting better at noticing
pedestrians, squirrels, and birds. The main challenge, though, is posed by the lightest …

Recent experiments demonstrate that plasmonic resonators can enhance the four-wave
mixing (FWM) process by several orders of magnitude, due to the localization of the incident …

Metal-based nanoparticles with antimicrobial activity are gaining a lot of attention in recent
years due to the increased antibiotics resistance. The development and the pathogenesis of …

Plasmonic molecules, which are geometrically well-defined plasmonic metal nanoparticle
clusters, have attracted significant attention due to their enhancement of light–matter …
