Excitons, encountered in technologies like solar cells and TVs, are quasiparticles formed by an electron and a positively charged "hole," moving together in a semiconductor. Created when an ...

By taking two flakes of special materials that are just one atom thick and twisting them at high angles, researchers at the ...

Researchers show that precisely layering nano-thin materials creates excitons -- essentially, artificial atoms -- that can act as quantum information bits, or qubits.

Scientists at Yokohama National University, in collaboration with RIKEN and other institutions in Japan and Korea, have made ...

During the study, the engineers used the quantum property to track the electrical activity of the heart muscles and cells.

Researchers have unlocked a new way to manipulate electrons in molecules with terahertz light, paving the way for faster ...

While earlier studies identified that quantum entities called excitons are sometimes effectively confined to a single line within the material chromium sulfide bromide, the new research provides a ...

Scientists at YOKOHAMA National University, in collaboration with RIKEN and other institutions in Japan and Korea, have made ...

In this work we study phonon-assisted luminescence by means of a newly derived approach that include the coupling between excitons and phonons. We found that luminescence inh-BN is dominated by phonon ...

A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg and University of Michigan has shown. The study "Controlling Coulomb ...
