A different type of 2-D semiconductor: Berkeley Lab researchers produce first ultrathin sheets of perovskite hybrids
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have successfully grown atomically thin 2D sheets of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites from solution. The ultrathin sheets are of high quality...
Celebrating Hubble and the Spirit of Exploration
Before April 24, 1990, seeing photos of space from space was not an option. Since then however, as spectators we’ve seen some photos that are nearly unimaginable. Why is that date so special? It was the date the Hubble Space Telescope was launched...
Mars Panorama from Curiosity Shows Petrified Sand Dunes
Large-scale crossbedding in the sandstone of this ridge on a lower slope of Mars' Mount Sharp is typical of windblown sand...
Funky Light Signal From Colliding Black Holes Explained
This simulation helps explain an odd light signal thought to be coming from a close-knit pair of merging...
Cellulose Nanopaper Produced by Optical Nanosensors
Inexpensive Method Reduces Costs to Produce Light Sorbent Nanostructured Layers
Inexpensive Method Reduces Costs to Produce Light Sorbent Nanostructured Layers
Researchers have tried to synthesize and study new nanostructured absorbing layers made of cheap and available elements with desirable physical properties because indium and gallium are very rare and expensive.
Making 3-D objects disappear: Berkeley Lab researchers create ultrathin invisibility cloak
Working with brick-like blocks of gold nanoantennas, the Berkeley researchers fashioned a "skin cloak" barely 80 nanometers in thickness, that was wrapped around a three-dimensional object about the size of a few biological cells and arbitrarily...
