Solar cell material can assist self-driving cars in the dark

02-Oct-2023 - Material used in organic solar cells can also be used as light sensors in electronics. This is shown by researchers at Linköping University who have developed a type of sensor able to detect circularly polarised red light. Their study, published in Nature Photonics, paves the way for more ...

Hydrogen offers a new way to study the Moon

20-Oct-2009 - The Moon is a surprisingly strong source of hydrogen atoms. That is the surprise discovery from the Swedish Institute of Space Physic's instrument SARA on board the Indian Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter. It gives scientists an interesting new way to study both the Moon and any other airless bodies ...

Electron filmed for first time ever

26-Feb-2008 - Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is the first time an electron has ever been filmed, and the results are presented in Physical Review Letters. Previously it has been ...
