A dopant molecule accepts electrons from a chiral perovskite host, enabling visible light absorption while preserving the material's left or right-handedness.

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have developed 3D-printed artificial muscles that move when illuminated, using liquid crystal elastomers embedded with gold nanorods. The materials ...

A University at Buffalo-led team has developed a hybrid material that allows chiral perovskite semiconductors to absorb visible light while retaining their ability to distinguish between left- and ...
