'Twisting' Atomically Thin Semiconductor Materials may Convert Light into Electricity
'Twisting' Atomically Thin Semiconductor Materials may Convert Light into Electricity Written by AZoOpticsMay 3 2021 A pair of physicists at the University of California, Riverside, are aiming to convert light falling on atomically thin semiconductor materials into electricity, having received more than $582,000 in funding from the U.S. Department of the Army. Nathaniel Gabor and Vivek Aji, both associate professors of physics and astronomy, will focus on how the fundamental science of light and its interaction with matter enables new sensing capabilities in layered and twisted vertical struc...
