🔬🕳Researchers at the Okinawa Institite of Science and Technology (OIST) recently discovered a novel method to directly observe the behavior of "dark excitons" in one-atom thick materials. A dark exciton is a type of particles studied in quantum physics that forms when energy is applied to an atom. This is a big step forward as understanding and manipulating these particles could revolutionize solar cells☀️, sensors🩻, LEDs💡 and even allow the solution of complex problems b

Did you know that according to the most accurate scientific theory about universe, atoms and all other particles are just movements of a field? Dive into an accessible explanation of Quantum Field Theory, and how it explains the way light travels through materials.

According to the United Nations, about 2.2 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE are in deficiency of safely managed drinking water. The Earth’s atmosphere, which holds approximately 13 million gigalitres of water, can be a valuable resource of fresh water – the challenge is its extraction. An international collaboration of researchers, led by Professor Rakesh Joshi and Nobel Laurate Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov, had come up with new material that can tackle this problem with great effi

A pink diamond, which premably had once been possessed by Maria Antoinette, the last queen of France, was just sold for US$ 14 billion on an auction in New York. This was THREE TIMES its asking price! In general, diamonds form under intense heat and pressure about 150-200 km underground, and the carbon atoms, which constitute diamonds, arrange themselves into a regular structure over BILLIONS of years. A mystery that costs billions. Credit: Christie's The colours of a diamond
