Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, replacing incandescent and fluorescent lighting in many applications. Their high lumen output, low energy consumption and long lifetime are just three of the reasons they’ve become so dominant. Something that’s spoken about less often is that while LEDs don’t radiate heat (which is why they feel cool to the touch), they generate heat internally, at the semiconductor junction, and high temperatures here can reduce the lifetime of th ...

Researchers in the Doyle lab at Princeton have developed a direct cross-coupling reaction to produce nitrogen-containing compounds called 1,2-dihydropyridines, versatile building blocks that are highly useful in pharmaceutical research.Published in Chemical Science, the reaction employs a chiral nickel catalyst and an activating agent at low temperatures to couple nucleophilic arenes, common motifs in bioactive compounds, with a feedstock chemical known as pyridine."A highlight of the ...
Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, is the first step toward a solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials. While methods to convert the energy into usable electricity still need to be developed, the sheets could one day be manufactured as lig ...
