In this paper a new way to realize miniature fuel cells (FC) is demonstrated using nanostructured porous silicon (PS) as a protonic conductor. This solution involves the chemical grafting of molecules ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The dynamics of chemical reactions central to energy innovations unfold at nanometer lengths - a scale too small to directly witness in atomistic detail, obscured by limitations ...

A Dutch-British research group is developing a 1μm crystalline silicon membrane with a remarkable optical performance and a hyper-uniform pattern design. A simulation of the device was theoretically ...

Silicon solar cells are considered to be the dominant photovoltaic technology, because they use earth abundant raw materials and perform with high efficiency. However, they are based on thick, rigid ...
