Researchers in the UK developed a new way to make highly ordered crystalline semiconducting structures using polymers. The distance that the photo-exited states travelled reached distances of 200 nanometres – 20 times further than was previously possible. 200 nanometres is especially significant because it is greater than the thickness of material needed to completely absorb ambient light, making these polymers more suitable as “light harvesters” for solar cells and photodetectors… read more.
