Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging electrons across solar cell materials in roughly 18 femtoseconds, a timescale so ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Aircraft carriers are impressive military machines capable of launching aircraft off an incredibly short runway. This isn't done merely by utilizing a fighter jet's speed. Instead, it's accomplished ...

The EMALS is an electromagnetic catapult that relies upon a linear induction motor, rather than a traditional steam piston, to launch aircraft. The linear induction motor, as the name implies, uses ...
