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.

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 ...

Images of nanoscale structures inside living cells are in increasing demand for the insights into cellular structure and function that they can reveal. So far, the tools for capturing such images have ...

The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a photoelectric effect that generates photocurrent without a p–n junction, can persist ...

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 ...

Proteins are not merely linear chains of amino acids; they only perform their biological functions after spontaneously ...

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have long been hailed as the future of clean mobility: cars that emit nothing but water while delivering high efficiency and power density. Yet a stubborn obstacle remains.

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 ...
