Using a targeted computational approach, researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University have found more than 20 new self-assembled crystal structures, none of ...

Self-assembled systems have potential to be applied in systems where it is desirable to gain fine control over properties, such as in responsive materials. Such systems make use of non-covalent ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly of a wide range of novel nanoscale structures using simple ...

Molecularly engineered ultrathin films enhance efficiency and stability in perovskite solar cells by aligning energy levels precisely, offering an alternative to conventional electron transport layers ...

Researchers in China have developed an inverted perovskite solar cell approaching the 27% efficiency threshold. The device incorporates a specially designed self-assembled monolayer that passivates ...

Assembly Theory is a way to understand how the complexity of life emerged through a mechanism of “self-assembly.” It could explain how life formed on Earth—or other planets—via the shortest path to ...

A research team in China improved the efficiency and stability of an inverted perovskite cell using a co-assembled approach to incorporate self-assembled monolayers at the hole transport layer. A ...
