Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

In nature, many organisms glow in the dark, including lightning bugs, some squid and jellyfish, using light to attract a mate or lure prey. Now, researchers have engineered glowing succulents, plants ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...
