Researchers imaged nanoscale photocurrents in an all-polymer blend solar cell using photoconductive atomic force microscopy. Trace solvent additives were found to enhance polymer ordering and ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

Biopolymers are polysaccharides that come from natural sources and are not the same as manufactured biodegradable materials. Some biopolymers have been discovered to have ionic and electronic ...

Aptasensors, which use aptamers as recognition elements, are gaining traction in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Understanding how these sensors function at the ...

Ikoma, Japan – All-polymer blend solar cells are expected to play an important role in the transition to clean energy technologies because they can be easily produced in large-scale flexible sheets.
