Brookhaven’s Lab Finds Quantum Dots Enhance Light to Current Conversion in Semiconductors

Harnessing the power of the sun and creating light-harvesting or light-sensing devices requires a material that both absorbs light efficiently and converts the energy to highly mobile electrical current. Finding the ideal mix of properties in a single material is a challenge, so scientists have been experimenting with ways to combine different materials to create "hybrids" with enhanced features.

microLEDs: from headlamps to the data center When we think about the evolution of AI technology, developments in machine learning and large language models come readily to mind, as do the latest graphics processing units (GPUs), high-bandwidth... READ MORE

The question of what makes a building "smart" has been debated in the industry for years. ams OSRAM provided a clear answer at Light + Building 2026: it is light — not as illumination, but as a sensory nervous system. It percei... READ MORE
