Charges Cascading Along a Molecular Chain
Removing one charged molecule from a one-dimensional array causes the others to alternately turn ‘on’ or ‘off,’ paving the way for information transfer in tiny circuits. Continue reading
An Electrical Trigger Fires Single, Identical Photons
The precisely controlled photon source, made from an atomically thin semiconducting material, could aid the development of advanced quantum communication. Read more at Berkeley Lab…
Toward an Ultrahigh Energy Density Capacitor
By introducing defects to a common material, Berkeley Lab researchers create a highly efficient capacitor with dramatically increased energy density. Continue reading
Some Like it Hot: Simulating Single Particle Excitations
Understanding and manipulating plasmons is important for their potential use in photovoltaics, solar cell water splitting, and sunlight-induced fuel production from CO2. Now, for the first time, the interplay between the plasmon mode and the single particle excitation within a small metal cluster has been simulated directly. Read more at Berkeley Lab…my last embargo-held press release written while full-time at LBNL, despite the byline! Continue reading
On the way to Multiband Solar Cells
Wladek Walukiewicz of the Materials Sciences Division led the development of the first intermediate band solar cell to demonstrate charge transfer across all three band transitions – valence/intermediate, intermediate/conducting, and conducting/valence. These results open the door to high-efficiency solar cells and multicolor light emitters. Continue reading
Computing a Textbook of Crystal Physics
Berkeley Lab scientists publish world’s largest database of piezoelectric properties Continue reading
Molecular Foundry User Meeting: A Macroscopic View of Nanoscience
A US Department of Energy (DOE) user facility such as the Molecular Foundry provides perhaps one of the best examples of a community in which scientists from a range of disciplines have the opportunity to forge connections. Continue reading
Defects Through the Looking Glass
Berkeley Lab researchers characterize individual defects inside a bulk insulator using scanning tunneling microscopy. Continue reading
Sensitive and Specific: A New Way of Probing Electrolyte/Electrode Interfaces
Berkeley Lab researchers’ novel diffraction spectroscopy technique will provide insight to chemical processes at important battery interface. Continue reading
A Bright Light for Ultrafast Snapshots of Materials
Berkeley Lab researchers develop a bright, high-repetition-rate laser source in the extreme UV for studies of ultrafast materials dynamics Continue reading
