But I believe the role of a basic scientist like me is not to just ride the current wave, but to carve out new channels and ...

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, ...

Coulombic attraction between a negatively charged electron and a positively charged hole form excitons. The photoexcitation in semiconductors exhibits a spectrally narrow linewidth resulting in ...

Folding-mediated self-assembly of luminescent molecules reveals a new design principle for efficient light-energy ...

Researchers capture exciton movement inside single CuPc nanofibers and show how molecular packing and defects shape energy transport in organic semiconductors. (Nanowerk News) Organic semiconductors ...

For many years, designing synthetic polymer systems has been inspired by the hierarchical self-assembly of folded proteins ...

After nearly a century of probing the nature of tiny, ephemeral objects called excitons, researchers finally managed to image the structure, hinting at the true location of an electron. The findings ...

Organic semiconductors are materials that find applications in various electronic devices. Exciton binding energy is an important attribute that influences the behavior of these materials. The solid ...
