A new study, published in Nature Nanotechnology and featured on the journal's front cover this month, has uncovered insights into the tiny structures that could take solar energy to the next level.
Mimicking the incredible skill of mother nature is never easy, especially when trying to match the remarkable chemical processes that take place in living organisms. Living systems, like cells, can carry out chemical reactions ...
A research team has identified the synthesis principle of eco-friendly ternary quantum dots that are harmless to the human body. Using this technology, they have developed a high-efficiency, photovoltaic-based hydrogen production ...
A research team has successfully visualized the ultrafast dynamics of quasi-particles known as excitons, which are generated in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) upon light excitation.
Colloidal halide perovskite nanocrystals have emerged as strong candidates for light-emitting diodes and solar applications due to their excellent photoluminescent properties. However, instability and lead toxicity limit ...
A team has developed a powerful new spectroscopic technique that enables real-time tracking of how perovskite nanomaterials change under light. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.
Quantum materials exhibit remarkable emergent properties when they are excited by external sources. Functional applications of these properties rely heavily on their tunability in real time. However, these excited states ...
Resonantly tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are high-performance laser light sources for a wide range of spectroscopy applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) range. Their high brilliance enables minimal measurement times ...
In the nanometer range (billionth of a meter), interactions occur between light and matter that do not happen on larger scales. As such, so-called nanophotonic materials have unique optical properties that open up a whole ...
Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have taken a major step toward mimicking that leafy ...
