ITMO Scientists Develop a Device to Control Light and Matter Quasiparticles
…The transition from electronic to photonic devices is one of the most promising and hotly debated technological scenarios in science today. Photonic devices are analogs of everyday devices, such as computers, that use the energy of light particles rather than electricity. Although photonic technology-based devices are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, as well a…

Solar Cells Made More Efficient Thanks to Silicon Nanoantennas
…e other semiconductors, perovskites, however, absorb just a fraction of the spectrum and therefore generate less energy than they receive from the source. To that end, ITMO scientists have developed perovskite solar cells using silicon-based optical resonant nanoantennas. Depending on their size and refractive index, nanoantennas resonantly scatter light, thus inc…
