• ITMO Researchers Create Next-Gen Light-Emitting Components for Displays

  Researchers from ITMO University and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea have merged a metasurface and a 2D semiconductor to produce a next-gen light-emitting element that is 1,600 times brighter than a semiconductor surface and even more durable and thinner than same-brightness analogs. The new material will pave the way for ultra-thin screens and other optical devices. The resulting paper was published in Light: Science & Applications.
