Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

An 11th-grade student from India, Shambhavi Das, has clinched the Best STEM Presentation Award at Columbia University's International Young Researchers’ Conference 2025. Her groundbreaking study on ...

DAS Solar and Hebei University have identified two types of pinholes in TOPCon solar cells: harmful recombinational pinholes, ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

Jiggling superfluid An artist’s depiction of a superfluid wave propagating through a layered superconductor. (Courtesy: ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, a new study finds that the needle-like lithium dendrites that grow in lithium (Li)-metal batteries are surprisingly ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

Scientists observe lithium dendrites growing in batteries in real time, revealing how they break and cause battery failures.

By placing single-atom p-block metal adlayers on gold electrodes, researchers quantified the interfacial hopping integral, ...
