A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Israel has used a Floquet quantum detector to constrain axion-like dark matter, hoping to reduce its parameter space. In their paper published in the journal Science ...
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) can harvest the near-infrared (NIR) light to emit higher energy photons (upconversion) or lower energy photons (downshifting). In a recent study published in ACS Nano, a team led by ...
