New Light Trick in Carbon Nanotubes Could Boost Solar Power

RIKEN scientists have revealed how carbon nanotubes can emit light that’s more energetic than the light they absorb, thanks to phonon interactions and the formation of dark excitons. This could pave the way for breakthroughs in solar energy and futuristic photonic devices. Three physicists from Japan’s RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics have uncovered how ultra-thin […] Read More
