Water has always responded well to sunlight, evaporating faster under the sun than when heated by other energy sources. For years, scientists knew this happened but didn’t fully understand why. Now, a ...

An oscillating electric field with a period on the order of a picosecond leads to an increase of the common temperature of the graphene electrons, which can be described using simple thermodynamics.

Ionization of water molecules by light generates free electrons in liquid water. After generation, the so-called solvated electron is formed, a localized electron surrounded by a shell of water ...
