X-ray detectors based on solution-processed metal halide perovskites are reviewed. Promising materials, fabrication techniques and device architectures are discussed, as is the potential for medical imaging applications.
Progress on Landau level lasers—based on external magnetic field splitting of electronic states—is reviewed, with particular attention paid to the potential for tunable terahertz lasers.
This Review summarizes the latest state-of-the-art technologies for high-speed multiphoton (fluorescence) microscopy, especially at kilohertz 2D frame rate, and 3D video rate or beyond—a speed regime that was generally inconceivable until very recently, as well as the prospects and challenges of these emerging technologies.
A summary of recent advances in the near-infrared light-emitting diodes that are fabricated by solution-processed means, with coverage of devices based on organic semiconductors, halide perovskites and colloidal quantum dots.
Colloidal quantum dots may offer solution-processable lasers, with a wide range of colours available. Technical hurdles and progress towards realization of useful quantum dot laser diodes is reviewed.
Recent progress in terahertz scanning probe microscopy is reviewed with an emphasis on techniques that access length scales below 100 nm relevant to material science. An outlook on the future of nanoscale terahertz scanning probe microscopy is also provided.
Nearly 100 years after the prediction of Brillouin light-scattering spectroscopy, or Brillouin–Mandelstam light-scattering spectroscopy, the effect has proved itself a powerful tool for decades. Now its application to probing confined acoustic phonons, phononic metamaterials and magnons is reviewed.
Recent effort in controlling the structure of light in all its degrees of freedom and dimensions has pushed the limits of structured light and broadened its potential beyond orbital angular momentum, two-dimensional fields, qubits and biphotons, and linear optical manipulation.
Photonics offers an attractive platform for implementing neuromorphic computing due to its low latency, multiplexing capabilities and integrated on-chip technology.
This Review covers the milestones for extreme-ultraviolet frequency combs and their applications. A future impact on the construction of nuclear-based optical clocks and multidimensional attosecond photoelectron spectroscopy of solids is remarked.
