Breakthrough in organic electronics

Researchers have discovered a simple new tweak that could double the efficiency of organic electronics. OLED-displays, plastic-based solar cells and bioelectronics are just some of the technologies that could benefit from their new discovery, which deals with 'double-doped' polymers. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114114225.htm

The orderly chaos of black holes

During the formation of a black hole a bright burst of very energetic light in the form of gamma-rays is produced, these events are called gamma-ray bursts. Researchers have built the POLAR instrument to analyze gamma-ray bursts. The first results of POLAR reveal that the high energy photons coming from gamma-ray bursts are neither completely chaotic, nor completely organized, but a mixture of the two. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114114229.htm

DNA origami: A precise measuring tool for optimal antibody effectiveness

Using DNA origami -- DNA-based design of precise nanostructures -- scientists have been able to demonstrate the most accurate distance between densely packed antigens in order to get the strongest bond to antibodies in the immune system. The study may be of significance to the development of vaccines and immunotherapy used in cancer. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114113519.htm

Scientists develop promising new type of polymers

Organic polymers can nowadays be found in solar cells, sensors, LEDs and in many other technical applications. One specific type of polymers - known as S-PPVs - were previously regarded as promising in theory but were almost impossible to produce from a technical perspective. After many years of work, a team has now managed to identify a new chemical synthesis process for the production of S-PPVs. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114103231.htm

5000 times faster than a computer

The absorption of light in semiconductor crystals without inversion symmetry can generate electric currents. Researchers have now generated directed currents at terahertz (THz) frequencies, much higher than the clock rates of current electronics. They show that electronic charge transfer between neighboring atoms in the crystal lattice represents the underlying mechanism. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190114103246.htm
