  • Quantum-mechanical effects in photoluminescence from thin crystalline gold films

    Quantum-mechanical effects in photoluminescence from thin crystalline gold films

    Abstract Luminescence constitutes a unique source of insight into hot carrier processes in metals, including those in plasmonic nanostructures used for sensing and energy applications. However, being weak in nature, metal luminescence remains poorly understood, its microscopic origin strongly debated, and its potential for unraveling nanoscale carrier dynamics largely unexploited. Here, we reveal quantum-mechanical effects…

  • Largest known madtsoiid snake from warm Eocene period of India suggests intercontinental Gondwana dispersal

    Largest known madtsoiid snake from warm Eocene period of India suggests intercontinental Gondwana dispersal

    Abstract Here we report the discovery of fossils representing partial vertebral column of a giant madtsoiid snake from an early Middle Eocene (Lutetian, ~ 47 Ma) lignite-bearing succession in Kutch, western India. The estimated body length of ~ 11–15 m makes this new taxon (Vasuki indicus gen et sp. nov.) the largest known madtsoiid snake, which thrived during a warm geological…
