The configuration and geometry of chemical reactors underpin the accuracy of performance evaluation for photocatalytic materials. Researchers have developed a novel automated photoreactor for H2 production. A photonic profile methodology …

pentagonal cross-section, researchers have reproduced theoretically predicted tilings and determined the mechanisms that allow the transition from one structure to another. The tiling of a plane by regular pentagons has …

Material design is one of the major driving forces to enhance the intrinsic light harvesting ability of a photocatalyst. Herein, the design of black TiO2−x/CuxO with chiral-like structures where Pt …

The understanding of the mechanism underlying the so-called unconventional high temperature superconductivity is one of the most difficult scientific challenges. Today, the most consensual approach suggests that the pairing of …

Researchers have synthesized crystals of elongated gold bipyramids and have described their optimal packing in three-dimensional assemblies. This result, at the crossroads of chemistry and geometry, offers prospects for the …

Currently only amateur astronomers observe Mars in a global and continuous way when the planet is closer to the Earth (“opposition”). A part of these enthusiasts has been aggregated to …

The teaching of experimental physics at the Master’s level has recently undergone a notable evolution thanks to the setting up of platforms equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, similar to that used …

Liquid-crystal (LC) displays exploit a physical phenomenon called the Fréedericksz transition. This effect is only observed with “nematic” LCs which are fluids of rod-like molecules aligned in the same direction. …
