The ability to control electron spin could reshape multiple sectors of clean energy. In hydrogen production, spin-regulated catalysts make oxygen evolution reactions more efficient and cost-effective.

Using the X-ray free electron laser SwissFEL at PSI, they demonstrated that tailored optical excitation can induce a 'metastable' non-equilibrium electronic state persisting for several ...

Scientists have uncovered why a critical part of photosynthesis only uses one of two seemingly identical pathways, revealing hidden energy barriers and structural nuances that could help engineer more ...

However, we can't extract energy out of the vacuum and use it to do work. That's because whatever its value is, it is the lowest energy state possible for the universe.

POSTECH, MPK, and Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have revealed the hidden dynamics of electrons during quantum ...
