Scientists probe how excited states of matter behave in phosphorene – a two-dimensional material with unusual properties.

OIST scientists have demonstrated a new mechanism that may help develop electronic devices differently.

2D layer increases effectiveness of optoelectronics

For the first time, scientists visualized electron movement inside a solar cell.

OIST researchers are getting closer to the conquest of the “terahertz gap”.

OIST researchers are developing a new drug delivery method using femtosecond lasers that allow tight control of drug release.

In recent years scientists, including OIST Professor Keshav Dani, have begun to understand how nano engineered materials, together with the rules of quantum mechanics and relativity, allow us to make materials that violate the familiar rules about how stuff behaves.

Research by Assistant Professor Keshav Dani, who leads the OIST Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit, aims to understand the physics of what happens to electrons in materials at the femtosecond timescale, a millionth of a billionth of a second.
