Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that electrons can be fired across solar cell materials in just 18 ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Imagine owning a camera so powerful it can take freeze-frame photographs of a moving electron—an object traveling so fast it could circle the Earth many times in a matter of a second. Researchers at ...

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 ...

A remarkable consequence of quantum mechanics is that electrons can display interference effects. This interference is similar to waves interacting in the ocean or the electromagnetic waves that carry ...

Physicists are developing quantum microscopy which enables them for the first time to record the movement of electrons at the atomic level with both extremely high spatial and temporal resolution.
