Two Dimensional Materials Come to LEDs and LiFi
October 8, 2019 | Leave a Comment
City College of New York graduate researchers are reporting two breakthroughs with the successful demonstration of an LED (light-emitting diode) based on half-light half-matter quasiparticles in atomically thin materials. This is also the first successful test of an electrically driven light emitter using atomically thin semiconductors embedded in a light trapping structure (optical cavity). The […]

New Way Found to Turn Heat Directly Into Electricity
October 2, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Ohio State University scientists have figured out how to capture heat and turn it into electricity. The discovery could create more efficient energy generation from heat in things like car exhaust, interplanetary space probes and industrial processes using a thermoelectric generator. The discovery, published last week in the journal Science Advances, could create more efficient […]
