Water molecules undergo ultrafast dithering motions at room temperature and generate extremely strong electric fields in their environment. New experiments demonstrate how in presence of such fields ...

Start-ups in the 2021 Free Electrons programme will gain access to global mentors and be in the running for $200,000 in funding. Energy start-ups in Ireland being called to apply for a global ...

Ribbons of carbon can form electron freeways, potentially paving the way to new kinds of electronics. In standard electrical wires, electrons periodically scatter off impurities, causing resistance.

FREE electrons with thermal energy react readily with the molecules of many chemical substances; since the free electron may be regarded as the simplest free radical, an unattached valence bond, and ...

Scientists have discovered a new way in which high-energy radiation in water can release slow electrons. Free electrons play a major role in chemical processes. In particular, they might be ...

A team of scientists at the University of Kansas has found combining organic semiconductor zinc phthalocyanine with a single layer of molybdenum disulfide atoms can greatly improve the material’s ...

A Princeton University-led team of scientists has shown how electrons moving in certain solids can behave as though they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons, yet at the same time act ...

KelTech IoT beat out start-ups from around the world to secure the $200,000 top prize at this year’s Free Electrons competition. Dublin-based KelTech IoT has been recognised as the world’s best energy ...

Linear molecules can capture and bind free electrons through the permanent dipole moment interaction. Physicists have achieved laboratory confirmation of the existence of dipole-bound states. Such ...

Interstellar clouds are the birthplaces of new stars, but they also play an important role in the origins of life in the Universe through regions of dust and gas in which chemical compounds form. The ...
