Quantum Dots ✖ Maurice Ravel
When emission of light occurs in the field of chemistry, it is undoubtedly related to a release in energy in form of light. For most elements or materials, the energy between energy levels or bonds is highly fixed. In this case, only a certain wavelength of light will be emitted under varying conditions.
MXenes ✖ Mendelssohn
Picture yourself using a paper-thin device which will continually keep track of your heart rate, respiration, or muscular activities without ever making you uncomfortable. You wouldn’t even realize its presence on your body. It is this kind of technology where the wearable health sensors necessitate the use of materials which are very light and flexible, as well as highly conductive.
Fluorescence ✖ Ralph Williams
Many by-sea tourist attractions advertise their seas to be fluorescent. Indeed, at night, the wavefronts show breath-taking glows of blue fluorescence.
Perovskite ✖ Philip Glass
When you dig deep into the mechanism of solar panels, you may find it to be photoemission effect. When light beam hits the substance, it transfers energy to all particles within. It is known to all that atoms are comprised of nucleons (protons and neutrons) and surrounding electrons. The nucleons are so tightly bonded that energy given by normal sunlight isn’t capable of overcoming the inter-particle forces. Electrons are different, they are much further away from nucleus and
Liquid Crystals ✖ Elgar
Every day, we spend hours looking at the screens of smartphones, laptops, televisions, and tablets. Have you ever wondered how images appear on such small screens?
Carbon Allotropes ✖ Shostakovich
One of the most common elements in the earth is carbon. It is fundamental to life and is involved in various natural and chemical reactions. One unique characteristic of carbon is its ability to form four covalent bonds with other molecules which allow it to combine with other elements and form numerous complex and stable structures including carbon dioxide and biological molecules such as DNA. The element is found in various parts of the earth ranging from the atmosphere, wa
