Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor ...

With its ‘topological’ quantum computers, Microsoft aims to reach useful scales faster than competing technologies ...

Amplified spontaneous emission is a physical phenomenon that entails the amplification of the light spontaneously emitted by ...

If an electron is in an excited state it can return to a lower energy level. When it does this, it loses energy. The amount of energy it loses will be equal to the difference in the energy levels ...

(Relaxation is the process by which the molecule moves from an excited, high-energy state to a lower energy ... scientists used the relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) instrument ...

The trio discovered that when an electron is excited by light, it gets a simultaneous energy boost from a phonon to form a "dark exciton" state. After losing a little energy, the exciton finally ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

A schematic of the photoexcited dipole dynamics in phosphorene nanoribbons, where following photoexcitation the excited state ...

The group has developed novel methods to probe excited state dynamics of anions on the femtosecond timescale and has pioneered the study of electron-driven chemistry using photoelectron spectroscopy, ...
