Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are changing the lighting and display industry and have obtained significant advances than traditional lighting sources. The traditional materials LEDs, e.g., III-V ...

A new metasurface design greatly improves light emission in atomically thin materials, offering a path to low-power, flexible, high-brightness display technologies. But there’s a problem: even though ...

Scientists at Rice University have discovered that beams of light can physically shift atoms in a class of ultra-thin semiconductors known as Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), unlocking a ...

Carbon nanotubes can glow brilliantly when light is absorbed by a flat sheet of atoms acting as an antenna to direct that energy into the tubes. This breakthrough might help create future tiny ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new ultrathin material as light as plastic but stronger than steel. The durable material could be used in vehicles or electronics, and makes use of a manufacturing ...

Using an ultrafast transmission electron microscope, researchers from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have, for the first time, recorded the propagation of combined sound and light waves ...
