SHAPING LIGHT ELECTRONICALLY WITH A SMARTLENS

A team of researchers reports on a dynamically tuneable lens capable of achieving almost any complex optical function. Camera performance on mobile devices has proven to be one of the features that most end-users aim for. The importance of optical image quality improvement, and the trend to have thinner and thinner smartphones have pushed manufactures […]

Next Generation Solar Cell That Can Capture Nearly All Energy of Solar Spectrum

Researchers developed a multijunction solar cell on a GaSb substrate that can efficiently convert the long-wavelength photons typically lost in a multijunction solar cell into electricity. This prototype cell has an efficiency of 44.5% which is higher than conventional solar cells. A GaAs-based cell is stacked mechanically with the GaSb-based materials to create a four-terminal,
