TL;DR: In this article, the attachment of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) moieties to the surface of planar silicon electrodes was investigated using ab initio simulations performed on a new cluster model for methyl-terminated silicon Density functional theory (B3LYP) with implicit solvation techniques.

TL;DR: The Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) as mentioned in this paper is the largest research program dedicated to the development of an artificial solar-fuel generation technology, which brings together more than 140 top scientists and researchers from the California Institute of Technology and its lead partner, Berkeley Lab, along with collaborators from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California campuses at Irvine and San Diego.

TL;DR: In this paper, thin films of carbon black-organic polymer composites have been deposited across two metallic leads, with sorption of vapors producing swelling-induced resistance changes of the detector films.

TL;DR: Analysis of light absorption in simulated structures indicated that the history effect and asymmetric path dependence are a result of emergent nanophotonic processes at the growth interface that dynamically shape the optical field and direct morphological evolution of the photodeposit in a continuous feedback loop.
