A gas turbine is a combustion engine that can convert fuel to mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for producing electric power and generating thrust in a jet aircraft. We are all well familiar with climate change, global warming and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases. The use of hydrogen in the process industry, e.g., for steel production, in the power industry for electric

Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur
