Jun 03, 2026 Microscopic solar-cell stripes could turn windows into power sources, letting light through while generating energy for greener buildings. (Nanowerk News) Buildings account for a large share of global energy consumption, yet many of their surfaces, especially windows, remain unused for energy generation. Semi-transparent solar cells offer a...
Nanodiamonds by molecular design
Jun 03, 2026 New high-pressure synthesis converts nanographene into uniform, pure nanodiamonds with tunable optics for quantum, sensing, and biomedical uses. (Nanowerk News) Nanodiamonds are diamond particles only a few nanometers in size. Because they are chemically highly stable and can host so-called colour centres, optically active defects in the...
