Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have revealed a new mechanism that allows electrons to move across solar materials at new speeds ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Electrons can be ‘kicked across’ solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered – challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation ...

Electron transport in bilayer graphene exhibits a pronounced dependence on edge states and a nonlocal transport mechanism, according to a recent study. Electron transport in bilayer graphene exhibits ...

The number of graphene layers determines specific properties. Both single-layer and bi-layer graphenes are zero band gap semiconductors because of the association between conduction and the valance ...
