USURBIL, Spain, Nov. 1, 2013 — A light emitter based on boron nitride nanotubes emits light across much of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can easily be incorporated into current microelectronics technology and used to develop high-efficiency optoelectronic devices, new research suggests. Defect-free nanostructures are usually most attractive to researchers, but work at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country takes advantage of the structural defects in boron nitride nanotubes. A diagram of the device proposed by the UPV/EHU’s NanoBio Spectroscopy Group. Their results have led to a patented new...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotube
    A nanotube, also known as a nanotubule or simply a tube-like structure, is a nanoscale cylindrical structure composed of various materials, including carbon, boron nitride, or other compounds. Nanotubes have unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size and specific atomic arrangement, making them of significant interest in various scientific and technological fields. One of the most well-known types of nanotubes is the carbon nanotube (CNT), which is composed of carbon...
    optoelectronic
    Pertaining to a device that responds to optical power, emits or modifies optical radiation, or utilizes optical radiation for its internal operation. Any device that functions as an electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducer. Electro-optic often is used erroneously as a synonym.
