Emerging research suggests a new paradigm for "unconventional superconductors"
Superconductivity in so-called unconventional superconductors, for example copper-oxide, iron-arsenide and iron-selenide high-temperature superconductors, is nearly always found in the vicinity of another ordered state, such as antiferromagnetism, charge density wave (CDW), or stripe order.
Self-organized crystallinity paves the way to novel all-polymer solar cell
Bulk hetero junctions (BHJ) constitute a promising route for low-cost solar cells based on semiconducting polymers.
