For decades, polymer scientists and synthetic chemists working to improve the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells were hampered by the inherent drawbacks of commonly used metal electrodes, including their instability and susceptibility to oxidation.

Now, scientists have shown how epigenetic memory can be passed across generations and from cell to cell during development.
