Duke University researchers have made fluorescent molecules emit photons of light 1,000 times faster than normal—setting a speed record! “One of the applications we’re targeting with this research is ultrafast LEDs,” said Maiken Mikkelsen, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at Duke Engineering. “While future devices might not use this exact approach, the underlying physics will be crucial.” This work was supported by the Lord Foundation of North Carolina and AFOSR (managed by PO Dr. Harold Weinstock, Quantum Electronic Solids program). #quantum #physics
