Discovering light in darkness: activating luminescent materials with environmental tuning
Researchers from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) of Radboud University are able to make individual nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) molecules light up by transferring energy from similar glowing molecules, at low temperatures.
Detecting waves with single atoms for neuromorphic computing
Researchers at Radboud University's Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) discovered that a single atom can detect the frequency of these waves and reflect this information in its behavior.
Single-molecule OLED lights up upon charging: towards energy-efficient light sources
Physicists of Radboud University discovered that if electricity goes through an OLED made from single molecules in a scanning tunneling microscope, the charged state is important for emission of light. By this charge the molecule produces light, more energy-friendly than traditional methods.
Superconductivity of ultrathin materials revealed
Quantum computing is the future generation of data processing devices, solving problems faster than classical computers do. One of the approaches is to use the quantum properties of superconductors, often in small dimensions and large magnetic fields
