Imagine catching a comet.
Comets are clusters of frozen gases passing close to the Earth at high speed, whose fate is to gradually evaporate until disappearing.

Device miniaturization and a consequent increase in the heat and electromagnetic (EM) wave emission in the electronic systems make the simultaneous heat management and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding crucially important.

Borophene is the name for atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) sheets of boron. Whereas boron is a nonmetallic semiconductor in its bulk form, it becomes a metallic conductor in 2D, even at a thickness of only one atomic layer.

Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in today’s electronic devices such as smart phones and laptops. Even NASA uses rechargeable batteries in many missions to provide electrical power for survival during eclipse periods on solar-powered missions…

Although the first cadmium selenide (CdSe) QD-based light-emitting devices (QLEDs) were developed in 1994, the first perovskite QLEDs were reported only more than 20 years later.

Radiative cooling is a passive cooling strategy for lowering the temperature of an object without consuming energy or emitting pollution.

By varying the energy and dose of tightly-focused electron beams, researchers have demonstrated the ability to both etch away and deposit high-resolution nanoscale patterns on two-dimensional layers of graphene oxide.

Skin-interfaced, wearable electronics have attracted significant attention due to their unique roles in preventative monitoring, diagnostic confirmation, and convenient therapeutic options.

An unusual form of superconductivity, which could help develop powerful quantum computers, has been found at the interface between two thin films by RIKEN physicists (Nature Communications, « Nonreciprocal charge transport at topological insulator/superconductor interface »).
