The “Impossible” LED: Cambridge Team Successfully Powers Insulating Nanoparticles

Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using molecular antennas, creating exceptionally pure near-infrared LEDs with wide-ranging potential. A newly developed approach uses “molecular antennas” to direct electrical energy into nanoparticles that normally cannot conduct electricity. This advance has led to a completely new category of ultra-pure near-infrared LEDs designed for uses in [...]
