Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...

Recent studies have indicated that curved solar-cell panels capture sunlight more efficiently than flat ones on cloudy days. One way to produce curved electronics is with rubber-like substrates, but ...

Wire-cut 3D curved surfaces mimic minimal surfaces which cover space with least material and are also stronger. Large areas can be covered with less material. Conservation of planetary resources is ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have discovered a way to control the growth of twisting, microscopic spirals of materials just one atom thick. The continuously ...

Homeowners can be hesitant about the possibility of tiling curved surfaces, especially for the shower. However, adding tiles is not just a matter of aesthetics; it also increases the ease of ...

A researcher from the University of Tokyo and a U.S.-based structural engineer developed a new computational form-finding method that could change how architects and engineers design lightweight and ...

Heat-shrinkable technology developed by an all-RIKEN team could allow solar cells and touch sensors to be attached to objects whose shapes make them challenging to laminate 1. Recent studies have ...
