Perovskites’ unusual response to light could explain the high efficiency of these next-generation solar cell materials.

When light drives electron transfer in a molecular complex, the surrounding solvent molecules also rapidly move.

Studies of atomic-level processes that drain battery life and efficiency help improve battery performance. 

X-ray laser pulses probe water droplets like these to discover water’s hidden (and sometimes bizarre) properties.

Lydia-Marie Joubert is pointing at the result of laminating an organic sample down to 100-300nm thickness for cryo-EM imaging. For samples which are traditionally too thick for imaging via cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET), a focused ion beam (FIB) can be...
