Scientists observed charge separation in a solar cell dye, driven by nuclear vibrations, not solvent effects, reshaping views on light-induced transport. (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells or in ...
During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...
It is found that the reconstruction of the electronic environment and the optimization of the electromagnetic attenuation mechanism are achieved by constructing a model of metal–support interaction ...
Fig. 1 The dielectric response models for conventional dielectric materials and for metamaterials. For conventional dielectric materials, there are three types of polarization models: Drude model for ...
Researchers from Yokohama National University have developed a method to study how titanium's electron orientation and behavior influence its physical properties. Their findings, published in ...
Scientists create a biohybrid by combining E. coli with a metal-organic framework, enabling charge storage through microbial electron transfer. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Harnessing biological systems for ...
Porphyrin complexes are renowned for their remarkable ability to mediate electron transfer processes, a feature that underpins critical functions in biological systems and offers promising ...
A ‘hole’ arises due to a missing electron in the valence band, which normally participates in covalent bonding between atoms. The absence of an electron creates a local absence of a negative charge, ...
