Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have discovered a new method for laser cooling semiconductor membranes. Semiconductors are vital components in solar cells, LEDs and many other electronics, and the efficient cooling of components is important for future quantum computers and ultrasensitive sensors. Using lasers, researchers cooled membrane fluctuations to minus 269 … [Read more...]
Nanomaterials Doped Polymer Nanowires Synthesized by Pulsed Laser Irradiation
International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) has succeeded in synthesizing nanomaterials doped polymer nanowires by a pulsed laser irradiation. The polymer nanowires grew perpendicular to the surface of a source film that included the nanomaterials and dye molecules as a photoabsorber. The technique is one of the solutions for fabricating of molecular devices … [Read more...]
