(Phys.org)—Physicists have theoretically shown that, when multiple nanoscale batteries are coupled together, they can be charged faster than if each battery was charged individually. The improvement arises from collective ...
New research suggests that it is possible to create a new form of light by binding light to a single electron, combining the properties of both.
