How to upcycle low-energy light: A new design for highly efficient conversion materials

To combine two low-energy photons into one high-energy photon efficiently‚ the energy must be able to hop freely‚ but not too quickly‚ between randomly oriented molecules of a solid. This Kobe University discovery provides a much-needed design guideline for developing materials for more efficient PV cells‚ displays‚ or even anti-cancer therapies.
