Atomically thin canvas for quantum optoelectronics
MITEI
In this IHS seminar, Harvard Professor Hongkun Park described his team’s recent efforts to combine atomically thin semiconductors and nanoscale photonic/plasmonic structures to realize new platforms for solid-state all-optical information processing that work all the way down to single quantum level.

Other governments are investing billions in fusion. Many private companies are looking to make decisions about backing the construction of demonstration machines and fusion-power prototype systems that will produce power on the grid. They are considering options around the globe. Strategic, innovation-aligned U.S. investment would help ensure that this country becomes the home of a world-changing — and potentially world-saving — technology."
—Dennis Whyte, director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center, on the urgency of investing in fusion energy.
