A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature permits. That is the striking result from a University of Cambridge-led ...

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

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have revealed a new mechanism that allows electrons to move across solar materials at new speeds ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that electrons can be fired across solar cell materials in just 18 ...

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 ...

The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume. The vibrations change the diameter of this sphere periodically for more ...

A nanoscale spectroscopy technique reveals the orientation of surface-bound molecules with sub-nanometer precision by confining light in a near-field region between a scanning probe and substrate.
