Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe), a theoretically predicted stellar explosion type for stars in the 8-10 solar mass range, are now empirically confirmed by the analysis of SN 2018zd. The ...
Scientists have discovered the first convincing evidence for a new type of stellar explosion -- an electron-capture supernova. While they have been theorized for 40 years, real-world examples have ...
The efficiency of photovoltaic materials is compromised by their inability to capture all the energy absorbed when excited by high-energy photons. Such absorption creates 'hot' electrons, and now ...
