I took a deep dive into the photoelectric effect — where light hits a surface and kicks electrons out. It’s simple, ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Quantum technology will disrupt the Bitcoin network. Here’s how quantum computers affect crypto and what you can do about it.

The takeaway from Helgoland 2025 was that the foundations of quantum mechanics, though strongly built on Helgoland 100 years ...

It was experimentally verified by Heinrich Hertz in 1887, but later experiments on the photoelectric effect where electrons are generated when light falls on a metal plate, led to new questions.

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

Max Planck is widely considered the father of quantum physics because he introduced the groundbreaking idea that energy comes ...

We report a monolithically integrated ultraviolet (UV) photoelectric switch based on a GaN-on-silicon platform for the first time. The novel integrated switch consists of a U-shaped trench metal-oxide ...

A photoelectronic switch of a multilevel memory device has been achieved using a meta-conjugated donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) molecule. Such a DBA optoelectronic molecule responds to both the optical ...

The unique photoelectric response properties of 2-D material (2DM)-based floating gate field-effect transistors (FGFETs) enable it for potential neuromorphic computing applications. However, a ...
