📢 From semiclassical scaling to quantum breakdown, our analytic formula matches the Lifshitz metal-insulator transition in MoTe2/WSe2 and predicts a universal critical resistance RL=2pi h/e^2.

New research suggests space-based solar power could supply up to 80% of Europe's renewable energy by 2050!

By harvesting solar energy, satellites mounted with solar panels could play a vital role in the green energy transition. ⬇️
