JNCASR discovers material that can transfer infrared light into solar, thermal energy
In a significant development, the scientists of Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have discovered a novel material ‘single-crystalline scandium nitride (ScN)’. ScN can not only emit and detect infrared light with high efficiencies but also modulate it to make it useful for harvesting solar and thermal energy for optical communication devices….
