Controlling the morphology of the active layer in organic solar cells (OSCs) is challenging. Now, acenaphthene is shown to induce the two-step crystallization of non-fullerene acceptors to achieve a highly oriented arrangement. The resulting improvement in the charge transport properties enables a binary OSC with 21% efficiency and a 83.2% fill factor.
Shaping the magnetic configuration in the power exhaust region brings major advantages to addressing the challenge of controlling the power exhaust in nuclear fusion. Power exhaust control in these alternative configurations is now demonstrated in the MAST-U nuclear fusion experiment, offering an increased ability to passively absorb disturbances.
Developing photocatalysts from earth-abundant materials is crucial for sustainable solar hydrogen production, yet challenges in efficiency and stability persist. Here, the authors report that the topological semimetal cobalt triarsenide functions as an active and durable platform for this reaction.
Bioelectronic devices enable real-time monitoring, diagnosis and treatment by blending biological processes with electronic technology. This Review examines the material property landscape of low-dimensional materials in bioelectronic systems by device component, emphasizing their role in enabling the development of miniaturized bioelectronic platforms for wireless and connected health-care applications.
To advance the energy transition, we must improve energy models by accurately representing hydropower. This demands political and institutional commitment to establish harmonized, authoritative databases on river flow and dam design that are currently lacking.

A study in Nature Communications presents a compact, lightweight, integrated sensor array for real-time monitoring of lithium-ion battery health and safety.
Metrology has long been defined by its pursuit of reproducibility, accuracy and traceability. Yet, when it comes to the representation of women and other marginalized communities, precision has not been matched by parity, finds Solmaz Nadiri.
