Physicists unveil condensation of liquid light in a semiconductor one-atom-thick
- peter_d_sherman 5y ago>"In the new study, the researchers managed to observe experimentally for the first time how a Bose-Einstein condensate is formed in the world’s thinnest semiconductor – the atomically thin crystal of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2). Bosonic condensate contains tens of thousands of quanta of ‘liquid light’, the exact name of which is exciton polaritons. These particles have the properties of both light and ordinary material particles, and they can be used as information carriers. This means that, instead of electrons, an electrically neutral liquid light can run through the microcircuits of any electronic device. Polariton devices will make it possible to process immense data streams at speeds close to the speed of light."
