Photocatalysis promises an efficient conversion of abundant solar energy into usable chemical energy. Polyheptazine imides ...

So far, there was only limited knowledge about how structural changes affect the electronic and optical properties of the many material candidates in this class. A team led by researchers from the ...

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

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

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

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

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 ...

But here’s the catch: the theory fails to explain why some materials, like high-temperature superconductors, maintain their ...

Scientists have shown that lightning-like bursts can be recreated in small blocks of solid materials in the lab.
