When light hits solar cells, so-called electron-hole pairs are created: the electrons are excited and can move almost freely ...

The deformations are caused by so-called electron-hole pairs. These are released electrons and their ‘gaps’ left behind in the atomic lattice. The oppositely charged pairs play an important role in ...

Scientists at the European XFEL research facility have directly observed atomic-scale deformations inside solar ...

This particular element comprises one of the physically weakest solids known to Earth, but it serves a vital purpose for the measurement of time.

After more than 30 years, physicists in Finland have uncovered the heaviest nucleus ever seen to emit a proton, a rare process that sheds light on the limits of atomic matter. The discovery of 188-ast ...

Scientists directly observed tiny lattice deformations in quantum dots caused by electron-hole pairs, key for advancing solar ...

Using DNA as smart LEGO bricks, scientists are building the next generation of tiny tech that could change computing, ...
