Results will also be used to understand basic questions about nature such as the cooling mechanisms of the early universe and the formation of planets and stars

Water-based material could be used to make artificial skin, longer-lasting contact lenses

Technique allows sharper detail—and more information—with near infrared light

Coating to make soap pour cleanly out of plastic bottles, reduce waste and frustration

CWRU scientists receives a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant

Researchers ditch approximations, find small-scale structures produce important effects using new computer codes

Multifunctional lens could replace bulky, expensive machines

Scientists don’t yet fully understand how the structure of glass affects its properties such as density, crack resistance, and melting temperatures. This knowledge gap hinders progress in developing new products, such as lighter windows for more fuel-efficient cars

New analysis approach brings two unique atomic structures into focus

Group has developed a biological method of producing quantum dots which is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than current methods

Novel technology could boost the output power of the electron beam and enable long-range communications or remote sensing for a fraction of the current energy costs

"This is the first efficient inorganic nanocrystal solid-state solar cell material that simultaneously meets demands for non-toxicity, abundance, and low-temperature solution processing"
