Polymeric Carbon Nitrides

By Dan Crippen

There have been numerous trials of using polymeric carbon nitrides as photocatalysts for solar panels but none have managed to achieve an efficable efficiency level. Thanks to a group of researchers from HZB and Freie Universität Berlin this is about to change. What they have found is that when light impacts the surface of the polymeric…

Quantum Crushes Record

By Dan Crippen

Quantum dots are making a comeback! After a few years of humbled excitement over quantum dots there comes a record breaking performance in speed of light emissions. What the researchers did was construct a plasmonic metal structure with certain characteristics that the quantum dots could be embedded into. The total speed that they achieved was…
