Resolving an exciton debate – Physics World
1+ week, 3+ day ago (223+ words) Lorna Brigham is a Scientific Editor at IOP Publishing. She holds a Master’s degree in Chemistry and completed her PhD at the University of Sussex, where she specialised in photovoltaic materials. Lorna joined the Reports on Progress in Physics journal…...
Sliding water droplets corrode Teflon-coated metal – Physics World
1+ week, 4+ day ago (156+ words) Water droplets sliding across solid surfaces can acquire electric potentials of thousands of volts and thereby corrode non-conductive surfaces on metals when they discharge. That is the conclusion of researchers in Germany who say that the poorly-understood phenomenon warrants further…...
A new route to perfect energy absorption – Physics World
2+ week, 3+ day ago (172+ words) A fundamental physics discovery could help reduce energy losses in future wireless power technologies Wireless power transfer research tends to focus on engineering solutions such as improved coil designs, impedance matching and frequency tuning. However, in this work, the researchers…...
