In this diagram, the atomic lattice of a crystal of barium oxide is depicted, with atoms of oxygen and barium represented by red and gray spheres. A neutral oxygen vacancy, a place where an oxygen atom should appear in...
Electron (green) emitted from a tungsten atom in the second atomic layer of the semiconductor tungsten diselenide (WSe2). The electron starts its trajectory with an orbiting motion and only after some time the straight flight from the emitter atom...
This is a schematic of a solar-powered electrolysis cell which converts carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon and oxygenate products with an efficiency far higher than natural photosynthesis. Power-matching electronics allow the system to operate over a range of sun conditions.
