Scientists demonstrate new, improved way to make infrared light—with quantum dots
New method from UChicago chemists could lead to cost-effective sensors
University of Chicago scientists invent smallest known way to guide light
Scientists found that a sheet of glass crystal just a few atoms thick could trap and carry light. Not only that, but it was surprisingly efficient and could travel relatively long distances—up to a centimeter, which is very far in the world of light-based computing.
