Quantum sensors can be used to reveal a surprising new mechanism for converting light into electricity in Weyl semimetals, Boston College (BC) Assistant Professor of Physics Brian Zhou and colleagues report in the journal ...
A paper published on Dec. 21 in Energy Material Advances reviews improvement strategies for the electrocatalytic activities of transition metal nitrides (TMNs) on hydrogen evolution reaction.
Electromagnetic noise poses a major problem for communications, prompting wireless carriers to invest heavily in technologies to overcome it. But for a team of scientists exploring the atomic realm, measuring tiny fluctuations ...
Although much of the discourse on reducing vehicle emissions centers on electric vehicles (EV), their sales remain low—with EV vehicles accounting for a mere 1% of car purchases in Japan in 2021. Meanwhile, the European Union ...
Mechanics plays a fundamental role in cell biology. Cells navigate these mechanical forces to explore their environments and sense the behavior of surrounding living cells. The physical characteristics of a cell's environment ...
The Haber-Bosch process, which is commonly used to synthesize ammonia (NH3)—the foundation for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers—by combining hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2) over catalysts at high pressures and temperatures, ...
In the 1930's when scientists, including Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, first discovered the phenomenon of entanglement, they were perplexed. Entanglement, disturbingly, required two separated particles to remain ...
Microwave field sensors are important in practice for a variety of applications across astronomy and communication engineering. The nitrogen vacancy center in diamond allows magnetometric sensitivity, stability and compatibility ...
The brain is arguably one of the most complex structures in the known universe.
Ammonia is crucial for the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizers. Due to the high energy consumption of industrial ammonia production, the development of alternative materials and approaches for efficient N2 reduction to ammonia ...
