Fukuoka, Japan—In organic molecules an exciton is a particle bound pair of an electron (negative charge) and its hole (positive charge). They are held together by Coulombic attraction and can move ...
Tungsten alloys, specifically, provide "grain boundaries [that] serve as sinks for radiation defects," per Nature. Meanwhile, ...
A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...
Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...
In the race to make solar energy cheaper and more efficient, a team of UNSW Sydney scientists and engineers have found a way ...
A breakthrough this week in nuclear fusion could point the way to a future of carbon-free power. In a press conference Tuesday in California, the Department of Energy revealed that at 1:03 a.m. Dec. 5 ...
Singlet fission is a process where a single particle of light, a photon, can be split into two packets of energy, effectively doubling the electrical output when applied to technologies harnessing the ...
Novel approaches in solar energy conversion and storage require theories capable of describing electronic systems, sometimes strongly interacting, in a dissipative condensed phase environment. In ...
