Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

To begin, could you briefly explain what Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are, and why their visual quality is often tied so closely to structural expectations in end-use applications?

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
