The new experiment comes from Washington University in St. Louis and it relates to a class of bacteria called phototrophes, such as Cyanobacteria, which can transform light energy into an ...
Ruthenium-functionalized nanodiamonds generate powerful solvated electrons under visible light, bypassing the deep UV requirement that has limited diamond photocatalysis to laboratory settings.
Despite impurities and defects, lead-halide perovskites efficiently convert solar energy, rivaling silicon cells. Physicists now explain the mechanism behind this surprising efficiency. (Nanowerk News ...
