A hybrid, solid-state film made up of two non-conventional semiconductors (organic molecules and colloidal nanocrystals) can convert infrared light into visible light at modest light intensities of around just 120 “suns”. This is the new result from researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who say that their materials could be used to improve silicon-based solar cells and cameras……….
