• Biodegradable electronics

  Shellac is a natural resin found in large quantities in the forests of Thailand and India, where it is secreted into the bark of trees by the female lac bug.  Currently used in the fashion and beauty industry as a hard-wearing nail varnish, this material has also been used to make gramophone records more

• Tracing photochemical reactions
  

  When light hits organic molecules, it triggers processes that are of considerable interest to scientists. But the individual steps of the reaction are very hard to identify. A study group at the University of Würzburg has now accomplished this task – with a sophisticated approach. It might well be e more

• Semi-crystalline random conjugated copolymers with panchromatic absorption for highly efficient polymer solar cells

  An effective approach to extend light absorption range of conjugated polymers for high performance photovoltaics is synthesis of copolymers composed of at least two different chromophores with complementary absorption range. For this purpose, we synthesized random conjugated copolymers consisting of more

• Endohedral metallofullerenes: an unconventional core-shell coordination union

  Publication date: Available online 12 June 2013 Source:Coordination Chemistry Reviews Author(s): Hailin Cong , Bing Yu , Takeshi Akasaka , Xing Lu Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are a novel class of metal-carbon hybrid molecules consisting of a fullerene shell and a metal core. Becaus more

• Sustainability, Vol. 5, Pages 2537-2556: The Geography of Solar Photovoltaics (PV) and a New Low Carbon Urban Transition Theory

  This paper examines the early phases of a 21st century energy transition that involves distributed generation technologies employing low or zero carbon emission power sources and their take-up within Australia, with particular reference to the major cities and solar photovoltaics (PV). This transiti more
