Mar 26, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen can be an effective way to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel, with further benefits if that electricity is generated from renewable energy sources. But as water-splitting technologies improve, often using porous electrode materials to provide greater surface...

Home > Press > Teamwork makes light shine ever brighter: Combined energy sources return a burst of photons from plasmonic gold nanogapsElectrical current and laser light combine at a gold nanogap to prompt a dramatic burst of light. The phenomenon could be useful for nanophotonic switches in computer chips and...

Mar 25, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Bright semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots give QLED TV screens their vibrant colors. But attempts to increase the intensity of that light generate heat instead, reducing the dots’ light-producing efficiency. A new study explains why, and the results have broad implications for developing future...
