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

Xiang et al. then designed a strongly coupled system containing a microcavity and ensembles of two vibrational modes from different molecules to study cavity-assisted intermolecular VET. For this, ...

Researchers led by Prof. ZHOU Wu from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) and Prof. Sokrates T. Pantelides of Vanderbilt University have pushed the sensitivity of single-atom ...

Employing newly developed electron microscopy techniques, researchers have, for the first time, measured the spectra of phonons - quantum mechanical vibrations in a lattice - at individual crystalline ...

Vibrational spectroscopy is a high-performance analytical technique commonly used in chemistry, materials science, biology, and environmental research. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is the most ...

Scientists engineered a nanostring that cascades energy through five vibration modes from a single push, opening new paths for ultrasensitive nanoscale sensors.

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

Researchers have developed a method capable to measure all phonons existing in a nanostructured material. This is a breakthrough in the analysis of nanoscale functional materials and devices. In order ...

Most people envision vibration on a large scale, like the buzz of a cell phone notification or the oscillation of an electric toothbrush. But scientists think about vibration on a smaller scale—atomic ...
