We are pleased to announce that our research on up-conversion photoluminescence in carbon nanotubes has been featured as a RIKEN Research Highlight. The article, titled “How carbon nanotubes give out more than they receive,” discusses our recent findings on how carbon nanotubes can emit light with higher energy than the incident light.
The research, led by Yuichiro Kato and his colleagues at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics, has revealed the mechanism behind this fascinating phenomenon. This discovery could have significant implications for applications in solar power and biological imaging.
