Organic solar cells have long promised a future of lightweight, flexible energy harvesting, but their tendency to degrade under sustained light and heat has kept them from competing with silicon ...

Solid additive engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to tailor the microstructure and optoelectronic properties of the active layer in organic solar cells. By introducing small organic ...

Controlling the morphology of photoactive layers towards nanoscale bi-continuous donor/acceptor interpenetrating networks is a key issue to build high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs). Due to ...

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded X-Bow Systems, a startup that specializes in solid rocket propulsion, a $17.8 million contract to demonstrate additive manufacturing ...

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) performs well in prototyping, where speed and flexibility outweigh cost and throughput constraints. Problems begin when those same designs move into production.
