A super-high-resolution nano display get more closer to Virtual Reality

Posted on by Haptic

Companies across the world are competing fiercely to provide high-resolution displays to electronic devices such as TVs and smartphones. In particular, the virtual reality, a keyword of the 4th industrial revolution, requires a much higher resolution to improve the picture quality. A Korean research team developed a technology to produce a ‘nano display’ with a Read more about A super-high-resolution nano display get more closer to Virtual Reality[…]

Increase the energy yield by using nanophotonic methods

Posted on by Haptic

It´s a pity – most photocatalysts have an absorption maximum outside the sunlight spectrum. But now scientists from the e-conversion cluster were able to significantly increase the energy yield by using nanophotonic methods. Photocatalysis allows to chemically store the energy from sunlight directly. One example is the splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen – Read more about Increase the energy yield by using nanophotonic methods[…]

Super-fast internet with nanophotonic device

Posted on by Haptic

Groundbreaking new technology allows super-fast internet by harnessing twisted light beams to carry more data and process it faster. Broadband fiber-optics carry information on pulses of light, at the speed of light, through optical fibers. But the way the light is encoded at one end and processed at the other affects data speeds. This world-first Read more about Super-fast internet with nanophotonic device[…]
