Hydrogen energy is regarded to play a critical role in the global transition to clean energy, yet its practical applications hinge on solving a critical challenge: developing durable and efficient ...

This leads to the photons being emitted one by one as well. At the same time, the mechanical distortion of the material helps to accumulate a large number of electrons in the vicinity of the defect, ...

When we talk about defects, we generally think of flaws or impairments. However, as far as materials science is concerned, defects represent windows of opportunity. A new Collaborative Research Center ...

A new approach has been uncovered to detail the formation of material defects at the atomic scale and in near-real time, an important step that could assist in engineering better and stronger new ...

Chromium doped lithium aluminate converts mechanical stress into near infrared light without pre charging or afterglow, enabling precise sensing and imaging in security and biomedical applications.
