Scientists Bring Polymers Into Atomic-Scale Focus

Image - This image shows a rendering (gray and pink) of the molecular structure of a peptoid polymer that was studied by a team led by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. The team’s success in imaging the atomic-scale structure of polymers could inform new designs for plastics, like those in the water bottles shown in the background.

A Solar Cell That Does Double Duty for Renewable Energy

The HPEV cell's extra back outlet would allow the current to be split into two, so that one part of the current contributes to solar fuels generation, and the rest can be extracted as electrical power.
