Rice University researchers already knew the atoms in perovskites react favorably to light. Now they can see precisely how those atoms move.
A growing number of public schools and colleges in the U.S. are moving to ban TikTok—the popular Chinese-owned social media app that allows users to share short videos.
The Seebeck effect is a thermoelectric phenomenon by which a voltage or current is generated when a temperature difference exists across a conductor. This effect is the basis of established and emerging thermoelectric applications ...
The National Science Review recently published a study by Huaping Wang's group at Zhejiang University. Inspired by electromagnetic metamaterials, the research team designed and fabricated a water wave superscattering device ...
The popularity of wearable electronics has induced demand for their parts, including power sources such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Such power sources must be both stretchy and high-performance, holding up under ...
RIKEN physicists have fabricated a nanoscale "heat engine" that uses a property of electrons known as spin as the effective working medium. It is promising for exploring the development of spintronic heat engines capable ...
Using smart technology to monitor the health, reproductivity, location, and environmental conditions of cattle can help with food safety and supply chain efficiency, but this monitoring adds energy cost to an already highly ...
When thinking of renewable energy sources, it is often solar or wind that spring to mind first—but what about ocean energy?
A new study has revealed how the glass-like shells of diatoms help these microscopic organisms perform photosynthesis in dim conditions. A better understanding of how these phytoplankton harvest and interact with light could ...
As biology is progressing into a digital age, it is creating new opportunities for discovery.
