Light momentum turns indirect semiconductor into direct one

Sep 20, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) UCI-led research reveals that the optical properties of materials can be dramatically enhanced – not by changing the materials themselves, but by giving the light new properties. The researchers demonstrated that by manipulating the momentum of incoming photons, they could fundamentally change how light interacts...

Recharging the powerhouse of the cell

Sep 20, 2024 (Nanowerk News) When we need to recharge, we might take a vacation or relax at the spa. But what if we could recharge at the cellular level, fighting against aging and disease with the microscopic building blocks that make up the human body? The ability to recharge...
