- New Class of Atom Cooled to Near Absolute Zero.Researchers have cooled indium atoms to a temperature close to 1 mK. At temperatures near to absolute zero, atoms move slower than a three-toed sloth, allowing physicists to gain unprecedented experimental control over these systems. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/s76 10 comments science

- The absolute internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) based blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at low temperatures is often assumed to be 100%. However, a new study has found that the assumption of always perfect IQE is wrong https://mntl.illinois.edu/news/56233 2 comments science
- Graphene could replace rare metal used in mobile phone screens. New study, published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, is the first to show graphene can replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) in an electronic or optical device. Graphene-OLED has identical performance to an ITO-OLED. https://www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2022/se/graphene-could-replace-rare-metal-used-in-mobile-phone-screens.html 203 comments science
