A new technology developed by researchers at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Latvia harnesses the power of electrons to create efficient nanoscale light sources. The technology, called Electron Kineties (EK), uses Carbon Dots/Silylated Zinc Imidazole Polymethacrylate dots (CDSZnIMPIM dots) on rods to create a powerful and efficient nanoscale light source. The EK technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about nanoscale lighting, making it much more efficient and cost-effective. The CDSZnIMPIM dots are nanoscale dots, just a few nanometers in diameter, that absorb electrons and emit light when exposed to a current. By placing these dots on a rod, the researchers were able to create a powerful and efficient nanoscale light source. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about nanoscale lighting, making it more efficient and cost-effective.
