Scientist in protective eyewear adjusts a microscope in a high-tech lab filled with optical and electronic equipment. A recipe for energy efficiency: an optical sensor that also processes data. The transparent dome represents interactions between photons (red and green) and the nanoscale elements on the substrate. Carbon nanotubes with quantum dots (small spheres) are shown connected to CMOS circuitry below. 2 rows of 3 scanning tunnel microscope images showing purple shapes against a dark background.

The person on the left has a beard and short dark hair, wearing a blue shirt. The person in the center has long black hair and is smiling, wearing a dark shirt. The person on the right has a beard and is wearing a suit jacket over a white shirt. A woman, left, and a man look at visual data on several monitors with components of an electron microscope nearby.
