Every company looks to advance these business fundamentals: increase profits and reduce costs. But as a company experiences success, operations can often become bloated and suffer inefficiencies ...

Combining theory and experiment, researchers have solved a long-standing problem by confirming the effects of -electron delocalization on 1,3-butadiene bond lengths. Organic chemistry texts use ...

Charge transfer (CT) states at a donor–acceptor heterojunction have a key role in the charge photogeneration process of organic solar cells, however, the mechanism by which these states dissociate ...

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as a promising next-generation solution for large-scale energy storage due to their advantages such as high safety, low cost, and environmental ...

We pioneer the use of an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative to break through the limitation of molecular conductors. The constituent molecules for conductors have been practically limited to planar ...

Under the coordination of the Foreign Ministry of China, 180 Chinese overseas students arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on China Eastern Airlines' flight MU590 from San Francisco on ...

Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...
