Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These bound states can give ...
Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications—from sensors and batteries, to electronics.
A new trick for modeling molecules with quantum accuracy takes a step toward revealing the equation at the center of a popular simulation approach, which is used in fundamental chemistry and materials science studies.
When model cell membranes bind to biomaterials, it is not the binding strength but the speed of the receptors in the membranes that is crucial. This was discovered by an international research team led by chemist Professor ...
In a collaboration showing the power of innovation and teamwork, physicists and engineers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a mobile muon detector that promises to enhance monitoring for ...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, together with international collaborators, have developed a new electron microscopy method that has enabled the first-ever imaging of vibrations, or phonons, in specific ...
Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have successfully grown large tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, both rich in nutrients, in tightly controlled environments where the light source was energy-efficient ...
Trying to assess the effects of research and innovation is a recurring topic in science worldwide. A macroeconomic impact study by Fraunhofer IPK and Fraunhofer ISI now confirms that a national research network in Brazil ...
Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first time how gas flows from vast distances toward the disk surrounding a nascent massive star in the ...
As the volume of scientific literature continues to grow, researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to sift through millions of research papers and uncover insights that can accelerate the discovery of new materials.
