Scientists directly observed tiny lattice deformations in quantum dots caused by electron-hole pairs, key for advancing solar ...

The deformations are caused by so-called electron-hole pairs. These are released electrons and their ‘gaps’ left behind in the atomic lattice. The oppositely charged pairs play an important role in ...

Tiny deformations appear. These have now been observed for the first time in the laboratory by researchers at Tampere University.

These deformations, associated with three distinct shapes—spherical, oblate (resembling a tomato), and prolate (similar to a watermelon)—exist simultaneously near the ground state.

The oldest mathematics journal in the Western Hemisphere in continuous publication, the American Journal of Mathematics ranks as one of the most respected and celebrated journals in its field.

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new type of laminate that changes colour as soon as the material is deformed. This way, the materials researchers can kill two birds with one stone: a ...

Moreover, the long wavelength compared to X-band (3.1 cm) fulfills the requirements for a tomographic measurement of the three-dimensional structure of vegetation and ice regions, as well as for large ...
