In recent years, molecular materials exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)—light with a specific rotational direction (right- or left-handed)—have attracted considerable attention for ...

In recent years, semiconductor quantum dots have been used in various medical and biological imaging applications because their optical properties are considered to be superior to those of organic ...

Figure 1: Concept of LSC window based on ultra-earth-abundant Si quantum dots. Here, we use Si quantum dots to realize the first efficient large-area LSC based on indirect-bandgap colloidal ...

The right indoor lighting can help set the mood, from a soft romantic glow to bright, stimulating colors. But some materials used for lighting, such as plastics, are not eco-friendly. Now, researchers ...

A Dutch-Australian research team has developed a 1 cm3 luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) device, equipped with 20%-efficient bifacial silicon PV cells, which can be used and assembled in several ...

To produce the maximum amount of energy, solar cells are designed to absorb as much light from the sun as possible. Now researchers have suggested -- and demonstrated -- a counter-intuitive concept: ...

(Nanowerk News) A technology for obtaining luminescent ceramics which may become a cheaper alternative to modern light sources is being developed by scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University. In the ...

Previous attempts to utilize perovskite quantum dots have largely relied on 2D patterning techniques on flat surfaces, limiting device geometry and performance. Some researchers have explored 3D ...

At the center of these kinds of breakthroughs in material science is an organic polymer called lignin, which is a component of the cell walls in trees and plants and is key to their rigidity. When ...

The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay uses luminescence to accurately determine the number of viable cells in a culture. Sequentially process plates exhibiting a highly consistent ...

The latest update for Genshin Impact brings with it a sizable amount of content, not least of which is new ascension tiers to unlock for characters and weapons. These utilize a variety of materials, ...
