Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have ...

Scientists created the first‑ever molecule with a half‑Möbius electronic topology, a configuration never previously observed or predicted ・The molecule’s unusual corkscrew‑like electron motion was ...

Electrons have been seen uniting into entities with fractions of electric charge, this time without a magnetic field coaxing them into it. In the 127 years since the electron was discovered, it has ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been an important tool for forensic science since the 1970s, and it continues to find forensic applications today. The technique – capable of 100,000x ...
