Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

An international research team has developed a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that utilizes a bottom cell based on a heterojunction (HJT) design and improved hole transport layers (HTLs).

In a first, scientists have designed immune cells that protect stem cell transplants from being rejected by the body — and they could someday open the door for a cure for diabetes. The new cells, ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a modular cancer immunotherapy that can be switched on, off or reprogramed to attack different cancers. Promising initial testing results, ...

A research team from South Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) has designed a wire-free transparent solar cell and module with all electrical contacts placed on the rear ...

As governments push towards greener energy, solar power use has surged. Now breakthroughs in material science, cell design, and recycling are reshaping its future, one molecule at a time. Photovoltaic ...
