A team of researchers from UCLA has unveiled a first-of-its-kind stable and fully solid-state thermal transistor that uses an electric field to control a semiconductor device’s heat movement.

The Empa research group is researching innovative materials for the batteries of tomorrow. Whether it's fast-charging electric cars or low-cost stationary storage, there's a promising material or a novel manufacturing process for every application.

Researchers have developed an automated laboratory robot to run complex electrochemical experiments and analyze data, reducing the effort and time needed for electrochemical studies.

Inspired by the enhanced visual system of the Papilio xuthus butterfly, a team of researchers have developed an imaging sensor capable of “seeing” into the UV range inaccessible to human eyes.

Researchers from the Universities of Freiburg and Ulm have developed a monolithically integrated photo battery using organic materials.

Charged, chemically "aggressive" fragments could be the basis for synthesizing new compounds with unreactive elements that could be used for microchips and solar cells.

Researchers have developed a new plastic material that is both stronger and stretchier than current plastics. It can self-heal scratches when warmed, is partially biodegradable and remembers complex shapes that can be restored when heated.

"MiniFlayer" is the first known instance of a satellite virus that does not possess a gene enabling it to access its host's DNA. To do this, it requires help from "MindFlayer", which it attaches to.

Researchers have announced a breakthrough in the field of next-generation solid-state batteries. Their findings may enable the creation of solid-state electrolyte batteries.

In a remarkable scientific achievement, an international team has successfully obtained the world's first high-resolution 3D image of the thick filament in its natural cellular environment.
