Hot electron research could open up greater efficiencies for solar energy

The result was what are called hot electrons that “carry the same amount of energy as a photon that strikes nanomaterial components” and could lead to large advances in photovoltaics and photocatalytic water splitting — where materials turn solar ...

All-Nanotube Stretchable Supercapacitor With Low Equivalent Series Resistance

In contrast, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), which were used in this work, is a dielectric nanomaterial that shows high Young's modulus and tensile strength, and thus considered perfect materials for stretchable separator applications. Another key ...

Three Nano Picks for Giga-Profits

Yet another nanomaterial made entirely of carbon is graphene: just a single carbon molecule thick, graphene is harder than most steels and has some interesting filtering qualities. But of course carbon isn't the only nanomaterial being studied these days.
