Light bends matter: Scientists find laser-triggered shifts in Janus 2D semiconductors
SMRTR summary
Rice University scientists discovered that laser light can physically push atoms in ultra-thin Janus semiconductors, causing measurable shifts in their crystal structure through a phenomenon called optostriction. This breakthrough could enable faster, more energy-efficient computer chips that process light instead of electricity for next-generation optical and quantum technologies.
