Cooling with light explored through semiconductor quantum dots

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 27, 2024
Scientists are exploring innovative cooling methods to counteract the challenges posed by heat in modern technologies. Conventional cooling is often energy-intensive, leading researchers to investigate efficient alternatives. Among these is solid-state optical cooling, a process that utilizes anti-Stokes (AS) emission, wherein materials can theoretically cool rather than heat when exposed to light. AS emission occurs when photons emitted by a material are of higher energy than the incident light, ... read more
