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

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is normally limited to temperatures near absolute zero but researchers have now seen it at a much warmer 100 Kelvin for excitons (electron-hole pairs) in atomically ...

If you read the scientific literature, you see the familiar subatomic particles you learned about in school: protons, neutrons, and electrons. If you are young enough, you see others you probably ...

Integrated optoelectronic devices, with electrons and photons as energy and information carriers, dominate current daily life and industrial development. However, electron- and photon-based devices ...

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 ...

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, ...

Scientists in the United States have designed a microwire solar cell that could reportedly enable the coupling of singlet fission with silicon. Key to their achievement was an interface that transfers ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes, but also at the nanometer scale. Recently, physicists at the University ...
