Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...

The twisted spirals made in this work exhibit interesting, tuneable superconductive properties. Courtesy: S Jin Researchers have found a way to grow layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials with ...

Ordinarily, the microcircuit patterns used in microchips are printed onto flat silicon wafers, potentially limiting the chips' applications. A new technique, however, lets such patterns be more easily ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control the growth of twisting, microscopic spirals of materials just one atom thick. The continuously twisting stacks of two-dimensional materials built by a team ...

IEA-PVPS has conceived a new test method and analysis of the impact of curvature in vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) surfaces. Over the course of an 8-day summertime trial in south-eastern ...

While the field of printable electronics holds a great deal of promise, the printing of circuits onto curved surfaces is still very challenging. A new technique greatly simplifies the process of doing ...

A new technique that allows curved surfaces to appear flat to electromagnetic waves has been developed. The discovery could hail a step-change in how antennas are tailored to each platform, which ...

Wire-cut 3D curved surfaces mimic minimal surfaces which cover space with least material and are also stronger. Large areas can be covered with less material. Conservation of planetary resources is ...

The word 'illusion' makes most people think of images that trick the brain, or a person being chopped in half on stage. But this tricky illusion will fool your sixth sense. 1. Grab a large ball or a ...
