Scientists create a paper-thin light that glows like the sun

Scientists have created an ultra-thin, paper-like LED that emits a warm, sunlike glow by precisely blending red, yellow-green, and blue quantum dots to mimic natural sunlight. This breakthrough offers improved color accuracy and reduced eye strain, with potential applications in home lighting, electronic displays, and workspaces. Unlike traditional bulky bulbs, this slender design could transform […]

Discovering short-range order in semiconductor materials

A team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and George Washington University have confirmed that atoms in semiconductors will arrange themselves in distinctive localized patterns that change the material’s electronic behavior.
