Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Scientists at TU Delft have designed a nanostring resonator that, when driven at its lowest vibration frequency, quietly funnels energy through a chain of higher modes all the way up to the fifth, ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging electrons across solar cell materials in roughly 18 femtoseconds, a timescale so ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures have been widely explored for ...

Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. We know them, in our everyday life, from the pH values we see on various soaps and lotions. But the ability to move them through biological systems is essential ...

There are roof shapes and ratios that maximize heat retainment and energy efficiency and, interestingly, ancient Italian architects and builders seemed to know it, too. While serving as a visiting ...
