Nanoparticle Breakthrough Could Capture Unseen Light for Solar Energy Conversion

Image - An erbium atom (red) in a nanocrystal emits visible, green light via a process known as upconversion that could lead to the development of improved solar cells that capture some previously missed solar energy. Scientists discovered that coating the particles with dyes (blue and purple molecules at right) can greatly enhance this light-converting property. (Credit: Berkeley Lab)

Valleytronics Discovery Could Extend Limits of Moore’s Law

Tiny Distortions in Universe’s Oldest Light Reveal Clearer Picture of Strands in Cosmic Web

Illustration - In this illustration, the trajectory of cosmic microwave background light is bent by structures known as filaments that are invisible to our eyes, creating an effect known as weak lensing captured by the Planck satellite (left), a space observatory. Researchers used computers to study the weak lensing signals and produce a map of these filaments, which typically span hundreds of light years in length.
