Speed matters. When an X-ray photon excites an atom or ion, making a core electron jump onto a higher energy level, a ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing ...

Researchers in China have developed a dipolar passivation method that reduces defects and improves charge transport in solar cells based on narrow-bandgap tin lead perovskite. The approach has enabled ...

After few femtoseconds, the double excited state decays by electron emission, generating a higher charge state. Compared to ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in overcoming one of the most persistent challenges hindering the commercialization of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor ...

Renewable energy developers looking to adapt their project pipelines to the post-One Big Beautiful Bill Act policy landscape ...

Zap Energy’s FuZE-3 device has reached giga-pascal-level plasma pressures thanks to a novel design that independently tunes ...

A new study reveals that PtBi2, an otherwise ordinary-looking crystal, hosts an entirely new form of superconductivity ...

Hydrogenated borophene with cobalt nickel compounds enables stable lithium hydroxide chemistry in water, activating oxygen ...

Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and react on metal surfaces with ...

Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the ...
