Photovoltaics, the conversion of light to electricity, is a key technology for sustainable energy. Since the days of Max Planck and Albert Einstein, we know that light as well as electricity are ...

(Nanowerk News) Future optical communication that's vastly more reliable and faster than what's commonly available today will require new technology. Modern communication is based on charge transfer, ...

Scientists have observed a new microscopic mechanism enabling precise control of the magneto-optical properties of excitons ...

Researchers have created an even more exotic form of the exciton-polariton, one which has a defined quantum spin that is locked to its direction of motion. Depending on the direction of their spin, ...

Coulombic attraction between a negatively charged electron and a positively charged hole form excitons. The photoexcitation in semiconductors exhibits a spectrally narrow linewidth resulting in ...

After nearly a century of probing the nature of tiny, ephemeral objects called excitons, researchers finally managed to image the structure, hinting at the true location of an electron. The findings ...

Researchers capture exciton movement inside single CuPc nanofibers and show how molecular packing and defects shape energy transport in organic semiconductors. (Nanowerk News) Organic semiconductors ...
