Researchers Develop Method to Dramatically Reduce Imaging Noise
Researchers Develop Method to Dramatically Reduce Imaging Noise
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology created a 3D imaging system that uses light’s quantum properties to create images 40,000 times crisper than current technologies. The research could allow for better lidar sensing and detection, satellite mapping systems, deep-space communications, and medical imaging of the human retina.

QD Solar Cells Realize 16.6% Power Conversion Efficiency
Researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) are harnessing the properties of quantum dots to make solar cells that capture a wider range of light for energy, are more stable in their energy production, and can be applied to curved surfaces. According to the team led by professor Lianzhou Wang, UQ has achieved a new world record for quantum dot solar cell efficiency.

2D Materials Integrated with Silicon Photonics Manipulate Light Phase at Low Loss
2D Materials Integrated with Silicon Photonics Manipulate Light Phase at Low Loss
A Columbia University team used a 2D material from the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) class to control the phase of light without changing its amplitude or depleting its power. By placing the atomically thin material on top of passive silicon waveguides, the researchers were able to change the phase of light as strongly as if they had used silicon phase modulators, but with much lower optical loss and power consumption.
