Light microscopy image of nanowires, 100 to 1,000 nanometers in diameter, grown from cesium germanium tribromide (CGB) on a mica substrate. The CGB nanowires are samples of a new lead-free halide perovskite solar material that is also ferroelectric.

The College is delighted to announce that Lauren Haney Provost has been appointed the new Senior Assistant Dean of College Relations and Development for the College of Chemistry. She will start her new role on September 1, 2022.
Carbon dioxide (depicted in red and white at left) is the main greenhouse gas warming Earth and is emitted in large quantities in the flue gas from industrial and power plants. A new method for removing CO2 from these flue gases involves piping the emissions through a porous...Read more about A simple, cheap material for carbon capture, perhaps from tailpipes
New video footage captured by Berkeley Lab scientists reveals for the first time that nanoparticle growth is directed not by difference in size, but by defects. (Credit: Haimei Zheng/Berkeley Lab. Courtesy of Nature Communications.)
