Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and track how energy moves within it. The work, published Dec. 5 in Nature ...

Whether in solar cells or in the human eye: whenever certain molecules absorb light, the electrons within them shift from their ground state into a higher energy, excited state. This results in the ...

Getting a class of fluorescent synthetic dyes used for medical imaging to embed in the membranes of cancer cells and vibrate rapidly induces necrosis. With whole-molecule vibrations lasting for less ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

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 ...
