Quantum dots beat traditional photosensitizers at their own game. They tackle reactions once thought too tough for ...

Rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) exhibits excellent photoelectrochemical properties but limited photocatalytic performance due to its large band gap and fast electron–hole recombination. Here, we report ...

Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other ...

Non-destructive inspection of semiconductor optical waveguides was demonstrated using optical coherence tomography with a visible broadband light source (vis-OCT). Comparisons of measured height and ...

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a promising platform for quantum information processing and quantum communication due to their short excitation lifetimes, high single-photon purity and ...

A material that emits less energy than it absorbs has the potential to save some of the sunlight wasted by solar collectors.

Chemists at the School of Science of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently made ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the ...

There are fundamentally two ways to generate electricity. The first is based on electromagnetic induction, which remains the ...
