“Towards Straintronics: Guiding Excitons in 2D Materials” — CCNY & Partners Make Breakthrough

From a team of City College of New York physicists and their collaborators in Japan and Germany comes another advancement in the study of excitons -- electrically neutral quasiparticles that exist in insulators, semi-conductors and some liquids. The researchers are announcing the creation of an "excitonic" wire, or one-dimensional channel for excitons. This in turn could result in innovative...
