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 high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

A Czech woman declared dead surprises everyone by showing signs of life in her coffin, illustrating the rare medical phenomenon known as the Lazarus Effect.

But while there is still no quantum theory of gravity, the challenge of detecting its signatures now looks a little more manageable thanks to a proposed experiment that takes inspiration from the ...

Synergistic photoelectric and thermal effect for efficient nitrate reduction on plasmonic Cu photocathodes Peer-Reviewed Publication Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy Sciences ...

Researchers measure the attosecond photoemission delay in the X-ray regime improving our understanding of electron dynamics.

In keV dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), photons interact with matter mainly in two ways, photoelectric effect and Compton scatter. When the contrast agent exists, the dimension of the ...

Just as the photoelectric effect liberates electrons from atoms in a material in response to being hit by a photon of light, the photomolecular effect shows that photons can liberate entire molecules ...

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where light knocks electrons out of a material, resulting in the emission of these electrons, called photoelectrons. Albert Einstein explained the ...
