Unique ways to harvest light gives rise to new Exciton Science Centre, launched today
(World News Science)

The Centre takes its name from its focus on the exciton, a mobile concentration of energy formed by an excited electron and its associated hole, created when light is absorbed by matter. Research programs will include developing next-generation energy and security technologies by manipulating light in unique ways. With efforts dedicated to building the `ultimate light harvesting system`, applications will include full-spectrum photovoltaics through to printable electronics, energy-efficient lighting and displays, security labelling and optical sensor platforms for...
