This "Nanocavity" May Improve Ultrathin Solar Panels, Video Cameras and More

Friday, May 13, 2016 - 13:58 in Physics & Chemistry

Recently, engineers placed a single layer of MoS molecules on top of a photonic structure called an optical nanocavity made of aluminum oxide and aluminum. The MoS nanocavity can increase the amount of light that ultrathin semiconducting materials absorb. In turn, this could help industry to continue manufacturing more powerful, efficient and flexible electronic devices.
