Glass windows could function as single-material light-harvesting and sensing devices in the future
EPFL physicists, in collaboration with Tokyo Tech scientists, discovered a method to turn tellurite glass into a semiconductor using femtosecond laser light, potentially enabling windows to harvest energy.
Femtosecond laser writing could create energy harvesting devices more easily and cheaply.
Researchers found that exposing tellurite glass to femtosecond laser light creates semiconducting nanocrystals, opening the possibility of turning glass into electricity-generating surfaces using only light. What happens when you expose tellurite glass to femtosecond laser light? That’s the quest
