Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on its journey toward Earth? When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining visible light and electrochemistry, researchers have enhanced the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable products and stumbled upon a surprising discovery. The team ...

We modelled the behavior of devices which trap light in a small region of space and found that this behavior is related to ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Physicists from Trinity College Dublin believe new insights into the behavior of light may offer a new means of solving one of science's oldest challenges—how to turn heat into useful energy.

Most of us can relate to being worried about inflation: we are all concerned about the cost of living and what our political leaders are doing to address it. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that we ...

One way that chemists recycle CO 2 into valuable products is through a process called electrochemical reduction, where a stream of CO 2 gas moves through an electrolysis cell that breaks the CO 2 and ...
