Coating Technique Uses Solution, Not Heat, to Create OPV Interlayers
OSAKA and KANAZAWA, Japan, Aug. 7, 2018 — Researchers have developed a spin coating technique to create zinc-related oxide (ZnOx, ZnOHx) ultrathin films (ceramic films) for use as buffer layers for organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Buffer layers, also called OPV interlayers, separate...
Silicon-Based Optical Filter Splits Light Across a Range of Wavelengths
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 7, 2018 — Researchers have designed a new optical filter on a chip that can process optical signals from across a very wide spectrum of light at once. The broadband, low-loss, transmissive dichroic filter can simultaneously achieve single-cutoff operation,...
Novel Material Demonstrates Quantum Properties
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 6, 2018 — Researchers have discovered a novel material with multiple quantum properties: Hf2Te2P, a material that is chemically composed of hafnium, tellurium, and phosphorus. The team is using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and...
EU Creates Faster High-Capacity Internet Networks via Photonics
MILAN, Aug. 3, 2018 — EU Scientists are harnessing next-generation lasers to create light-speed broadband connections and to remove the data bottlenecks that could cause the internet to grind to a halt as demand increases. The EU-funded researchers from nine countries...
Fluorescent Probe Identifies Cancer Stem Cells in the Body
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Aug. 3, 2018 — A fluorescent probe, called AlDeSense, has demonstrated the ability to find and track cancer stem cells (CSCs) in cultures of multiple human cancer cell lines as well as in live mice. The new probe is a small molecule that binds to an enzyme...
