At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling amount of energy. But right now, our best technologies are essentially trying to ...

In a series of experiments and simulations, the researchers showed that by adjusting light intensity, timing, and spatial patterns, they can trigger crystals to form or melt on demand, decide where ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

In the face of rising emissions from data centres, researchers are turning to micro-explosions in glass, and using DNA to solve big data's big problem.
