Phys.org—Accelerated discovery research unveils 21 novel materials for advanced organic solid-state laser technology. Organic solid-state lasers (OSLs) hold immense promise for a wide range of applications due to their flexibility, color tunability, and efficiency. However, they are difficult to make, and with over 150,000 possible experiments required to conduct to find successful new materials, discovering them all would be the work of several lifetimes. In fact, in the previous few decades, only 10–20 new OSL materials have been tested.

ABC Columbia—Battery Technology is Powering California. As we all know, the sun doesn’t shine at night – so forget about solar panels. Well, not so fast. With a quick increase in battery technology, solar (and other renewables) are charging batteries during the day, so that they can keep the lights on at night. And this trend is growing fast – replacing the gas-powered power plants that

Phys.org—Research: Technology is changing how companies do business. In the fast-paced world of modern business, technology plays a crucial role in shaping how companies operate. One area where this impact is particularly significant is in the organization of production chains—specifically the way goods are made and distributed.
