Researchers discover new way to split and sum photons with silicon
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of California, Riverside have found a way to produce a long-hypothesized phenomenon-the transfer of energy between silicon and organic, carbon-based molecules-in a breakthrough that has implications for information storage in quantum computing, solar energy conversion and medical imaging. The research is described in a paper out today in the journal Nature Chemistry.
