A new reaction pathway enables the selective creation of optically active sp3 defects. These can emit single photons in the near-infrared even at room temperature. CREDIT Simon Settele (Heidelberg) Abstract: The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural imperfections or defects. The challenge, however, is to control the number and type of these defects. In the case of carbon nanotubes - microscopically small tubular compounds that emit light in the near-infrared - chemists and materials scientists at Heidelberg University led by Prof. Dr Jana Zaumseil have now d
