Devices based on Near-Field Thermal Radiation for high efficiency solar panels, thermal management of laptops and smartphones
Heat (i.e., thermal energy) is defined as the energy that is transferred spontaneously between two bodies due to difference in their temperature; heat flows from high to low temperature. There are three main well-known mechanisms for heat transfer: conduction through solid and fluids, convection through fluid, and radiation through solid, …

“Trion” instead of electron will play a key role in Future electronics and Quantum information transmission
Trions are what scientists call “quasiparticles,” bundles of energy, electric charge and spin that zoom around inside semiconductors. Trions were first observed in quantum wells in 1993 and shortly thereafter in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells. Trions were were predicted and found in the photoluminescence and absorption spectra of various optically …

Polarization-based imaging systems or cameras enhance machine vision, autonomous vehicle navigation, facial recognition, and military target detection
Humans view the intensity of light as the various colors of the spectrum. Characteristics of light include amplitude (intensity), frequency (color), polarization, and coherence. The human eye has cone cells, that correspond reflected light from objects into colors which range from wavelengths of approximately 400-700nm. Polarization, the direction in which …

Quantum Cryptography emerging alternative to secure Military Internet of things (MIOT) from cyber attacks even in post Quantum Computer Era
The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to inter-operate within the …
