It might sound as a very bold statement to some, but it is true, and an international team of researchers demonstrated it. They developed “nanograss“, which can boost the efficiency of organic solar cells, while providing a mean for cheap energy storage […]

A team of researchers from the University of Arizona have found a material that can play the role of an insulator for the one atom-thick graphene layer. The team published their study in Nature Materials.
