New Nano Switch Channels Excitons at Room Temperature, Unlocks Faster, Cooler Computing University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature, paving the way for faster and cooler computing. Excitons, which are quasiparticles consisting of an electron and an electron hole bound together, are crucial for […]
Record-breaking single-photon detector ends need for bulky cryogenic technology
Breakthrough Single-Photon Detector Revolutionizes Mid-Infrared Technology Single photons in the mid-infrared can reveal faint galaxies or carry fragile quantum signals across vast distances. However, the detection of these elusive particles has long been hindered by the need for bulky cryogenic technology. This barrier has now been shattered by a cutting-edge single-photon detector that operates at […]
