Claiming that something has a defect normally suggests an undesirable feature. That s not the case in solid-state systems, such as the semiconductors at the heart of modern classical electronic devices. They work because of defects introduced into the rigidly ordered arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials like silicon. Surprisingly, in the quantum world, defects also play an important role.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and scientific institutes and universities in Japan, Korea and Hungary have established guidelines that will be an invaluable resource for the discovery of new defect-based quantum systems. The international team published these guideli

Hydrogen is an incredibly powerful fuel, and the ingredients are everywhere in plain old water. Researchers would love to be able to use it widely as a clean and sustainable energy source.
One catch, however, is that a considerable amount of energy is required to split water and make hydrogen. Thus scientists have been working on fabricating materials for photoelectrodes that can use solar energy to split water, creating a solar fuel that can be stored for later use.
Scientists with the University of Chicago, the University of Madison-Wisconsin and Brookhaven National Laboratory published a new breakthrough in making such photoelectrodes. Their research, reported in
