In an article published this month in Science, researchers in the Huang Group in the College of Arts & Sciences’ department of applied physical sciences revealed a new method for stabilizing perovskite solar cells and discussed the implications it has on the future of solar energy and other technologies.
New materials from the lab of UNC researcher Ronit Freeman that can reconfigure on demand have potential for applications in diagnostics, drug delivery and more.
Researchers have discovered that a high-strength polymer called “PBDT” has a rare double helix structure, opening possibilities for use in a variety of applications.
Ronit Freeman, an associate professor in the UNC Department of Applied Physical Sciences, discusses her interdisciplinary approach to her current research and her interest in innovative entrepreneurship.
Highly dynamic synthetic superstructures self-assemble, change stiffness of soft materials, then revert, while providing new clues on brain, spinal cord injuries and neurological disease. Associate Professor of Applied Physical Sciences Ronit Freeman helped to develop the work when she was a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University.
A new design and making course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is teaching students that in order to move forward, they must first endure a few steps backwards.
