Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into an ultrathin crystal. The approach produced traces narrower than the width ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much ...

Bioluminescent plankton are marine organisms capable of emitting visible light through chemical reactions in their bodies. This unique biochemical trait is attributed to a luciferin-luciferase ...

The continuous development of bright, stable and highly coherent high-energy light sources is a propellant to the fields of material science, biomedical imaging, ultrafast spectroscopy, and industrial ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, particularly a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement.

In nature, many organisms glow in the dark, including lightning bugs, some squid and jellyfish, using light to attract a mate or lure prey. Now, researchers have engineered glowing succulents, plants ...
