The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a photoelectric effect that generates photocurrent without a p–n junction, can persist even when a material's average crystal structure remains centrosymmetric, a ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

Atomic fluctuations sustain and enhance photocurrent in crystals previously thought too symmetric for this effect, revealing a potential route to more efficient solar cells.

Newswise — Dr. Hye Jung Chang and Dr. Kyung Joong Yoon (Director) of the Hydrogen Energy Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Sangrok Oh) have ...

AFM is a scanning probe microscopic instrument that consists of a force-sensing microcantilever, a laser source, a piezoelectric scanner and a photodiode detector (Figure 1A). During AFM imaging, the ...

Researchers have elucidated the mechanism of the initial degradation phenomenon that triggers the performance drop of high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis cell systems, using advanced ...
