Collecting Hot Carriers: New Process Harvests Excited Quasiparticles

Saturday, August 8, 2020 - 18:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers at Caltech have developed a way to eke more energy out of solar power— collecting freshly charged particles before they have an opportunity to cool off, so to speak. This fundamental research could one day help scientists harvest energy from the sun more efficiently than by the natural photosynthesis used by plants. A study […]
