The study of curvature effects on crystal structures and defect dynamics offers pivotal insights into how geometric constraints influence material properties at the micro‐ and nanoscale. Curved ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

If we are to prevent the impending environmental crisis, it is imperative that we find efficient and sustainable ways to avoid being wasteful. One area with much room for improvement is the recycling ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, environmentally friendly mobility. These are not simple blocks of metal, but ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

A setback in growing light-responsive crystals led UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team to a novel method for mapping molecular arrangements.
