The photoluminescence efficiency is characterized by the ratio of light emitted to the amount of energy deposited into the system. For advanced
To address the damage caused by scanning transmission electron microscopy, or STEM, a team at the Molecular Foundry developed a new imaging
Working at the Molecular Foundry using a cutting-edge electron microscope technique coupled with a protein-staining process and sophisticated
Semiconducting nanowires have a wide range of existing and potential applications in optoelectronic materials, from single-electron transistors and
Theory predicts that graphene could be much better at detecting noxious gases if impurities, or dopants, were incorporated into its rigid framework
While isolated electrons in a vacuum can store quantum information nearly perfectly, in real materials, the movements of surrounding atoms disturbs
An electron in an atom has three intrinsic properties: charge, spin and orbital angular momentum; the latter characterizes how the electron orbits
The presence of defects in semiconductor materials, such as the missing gallium atoms in the image, were known to drastically decrease the light
Powered by the state-of-the art computational tools and inspired by nature, researchers investigated the stability of ionic molecules for their
Various catalysts can be used in the hydrodeoxygenation process, which removes oxygen-containing compounds or oxygenates, but the best catalysts
