Scientists Use New Class of Liquids to Develop Innovative Material Platform for TTA Photon Upconversion

A concept called the Shockley-Quesser limit currently restricts the conversion of solar energy into electricity. This restriction causes lower energy photons to be wasted, while enabling those that possess higher energies than those of the bandgap to be utilized.

DNA-Based Organic Materials Could Make Better Biomedical and Photonic Devices

Using DNA from salmon, researchers in South Korea hope to make better biomedical and other photonic devices based on organic thin films. Often used in cancer treatments and health monitoring, thin films have all the capabilities of silicon-based devices with the possible added advantage of being more compatible with living tissue.
