https://e-catworld.com/2019/01/24/new-brilliant-light-suncell-video/

Brilliant Light is struggling to show the world a working Suncell unit that can last more than 12 minutes.  

Notice that none of their latest crop of videos ever last for more than a minute or so before getting the video feed cut off abruptly.   Also  notice the rather hurried and crude welding that shows up on this last one as they struggle and rush to get something out there before Rossi's demo.

Yep, it is a simple welding up plate stainless steel metal cube that is slowly building up to a melt down yet again ......

https://youtu.be/zL3W-0Kiozg              ........ power on takes place at 0:25 seconds and shut down at 1:14 so the entire run was less than 90 seconds

Un-even heating says it should be a sphere.
I would use inconel or unobtainium but if it's a heating problem, it should be double walled with coolant flowing between.
phd's w/out a lick of sense.

Overheating and melting down has always been a common theme with these things.   Rossi went VERY VERY TINY at first simply so he could run it safely on faucet pressure water flow for enough months to get his control system worked out, going through at least 3 major controller revisions with a ton of help from ABB personnel.

Then he began working on balancing out ever increasing cooling and work loads, going up and up in power off the same reactor as he developed better and better cooling systems.

He now has a commercially salable unit now at 37 real known kilowatts per reactor balanced against simply making hot water for plant heating systems.  He also made up a remote controlled marketing plan to "sell the heat" and protect his IP as well as can be reasonably done.  

Please realize that ROSSI'S DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS DO NOT STOP and Rossi can upgrade his "you just buy the heat" installations endlessly if he needs to simply by showing up with new controller equipment and technicians at reactor replacement time.  This is part of his long term contract, BTW.

This Rossi E-cat stuff will get better and better over time ......    his next milestone that he has worked on but has not shown yet is a small refrigerant gas turbine system making electricity as the main energy output and also is still producing hot water as the final cooling dump to the entire system.   This is your off grid home battery wall unit charging, hot water based home heating system and your electrical automotive battery home plug in charging system all in one unit.

Rossi will eventually lose all his secrets to his imitators who will actually then start to develop patentable parallel ways to achieve the same results.   You cannot patent LENR itself as a transformational energy source since it happens in nature (volcanoes, arc spot lights and mercury vapor lamps prove this).  

Competition will improve this stuff even faster.    And in 5 days it will all kick off with a 2 hour YouTube video and a small live presentation.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_pa...

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274644934_On_the_Nuclear_Mechanisms_...


It is 4 days until Presentation Day ......

Rossi has just posted a second technical paper at ResearchGate.com which compiles his current thoughts and those of his fellow researchers (both living and dead) in a more exhaustive fashion.   He gives full thought credit to many others as the topics are broached and he makes it clear that he is NOT the first to think these things, he is just the stubborn cuss that stuck with it until it worked finally.

Rossi proposes a possible means of his new plasma based reactions being real and not giving off any harmful radiations that cannot be blocked by a paper thin layer of sheet metal and several layers of mylar and aluminum foil (a space blanket).

This paper is also noted as a memorial to Sven Kullander, with whom Rossi communicated and was impressed with such that Rossi named the current first commercial plasma based E-cat after him, the SK model.

Dr. Norman Cook and Rossi had earlier posted at ResearchGate a detailed theory of the solid lattice supported atomic interactions take place inside the lattice of the nickel metal that was used on his oldest reactors, expanding greatly the detail and mathematical proofs for these lattice supported interactions that achieve the results that Rossi saw. 

Dr. Norman Cook is MUCH better at presenting this stuff than Rossi is, Rossi is not a phd trained nuclear physicist theoretical guy, he is more of a self-trained entrepreneur who constructs physical equipment and measures the results, then does the next construction and measures those results.  

Rossi chased it down by doing it .....  theory to Rossi was simply about making his next step work correctly.

It is obvious to anybody that LENR is a naturally occuring chain of potentially MANY different sorts of things that can result in these particle exchanges .....  they can happen inside a plasma or inside a solid metal lattice structure ......  What happens in the sun is the same sort of stuff that can happen inside a mercury vapor lamp or the earth's crust, the scale is different but some of the same items can happen in a volcano or an arc lamp as well.  

Other people are posting technical papers on their own experiments with varying sorts of methods, and some common themes are evolving enough to be considered a form of consensus.  


Wink


I cannot really follow the technical heart of these various discussions at all --- I am not trained in these sub-atomic basics and the particle physics they are referring to are all way beyond me.


In addition to its theoretical aspects, the paper describes an experiment conducted with the E-Cat SK, concluding that the COP of the E-Cat SK while running in non-excite SSM mode was:

“COP2 = Eout/E2 >107 (SSM)

Definitely a huge value! After 60 days of continued operation an E-Cat SK has produced (as we can and from a simple extrapolation) 31680kWh of heat, approximately the equivalent of 2762 kg of heating oil (avoiding, at same time, the emission of about 800 kg of CO2).”


The huge calculated COP number actually became meaningless when it went past 2,000 a year or so ago.  Now the new generation of Rossi-ABB controllers now pull so much less power to do the same job and they can cut the reaction on and off inside a few minutes using a common thermostat to control the zone heat.  

A more practical statement of COP can be made off the electric and gas meters of the customer's site, saying how much less $$$ are paid out when running a Rossi system.   These figures will be calculated as a Return On Investment calculation that the site's Financial Officer will require to be done.

The publishing of Rossi's paper has resulted in a fire storm from fusion research people.

There are literally HUNDREDS of Fusion scientists sharpening their gutting knives right now, getting ready to fight intellectually for their ongoing project funding (which they quite rightly consider to be at risk from what Rossi is publishing and is getting ready to show by internet distribution in a few days).

Rossi is a crank.   Rossi is a fraud.    Rossi is a convicted Con Man.    Rossi is no form of scientist at all.    repeat mantra endlessly

Some of these statements are partially true, certainly in the eyes of mainstream Fusion scientists they are mostly true and somebody needs to go gut that silly crank.

But soon they cannot argue that the small fusion SK reactor actually works and makes up a viable commercial avenue to get lower cost heat with NO BAD EYE HARMING LIGHT OR OTHER RADIATION existing outside the sealed reactor enclosure itself during run time and NO RESIDUAL RADIOACTIVE WASTE AT ALL, ever ....... and thus making up for some very small scale extremely cheap useable energy.

More stuff is coming out of the closet now.  NASA has a nickel lattice cold fusion reactor.   DARPA has a cold fusion reactor.   Japan (Mitsubishi) has a cold fusion reactor.   The Navy has a cold fusion reactor (bought it from Rossi).   Funding levels on this sort of research are relatively inexpensive to do and it has been pursued quietly on several levels.

Rossi however figured out how to make it work, cheaply, and is doing it commercially.    Rossi has now gone to market safely selling heat based off his process.

Faced with the first real commercial product, Science will have to adjust as it has done over the centuries -- kicking and screaming all the way.

The demo has come and gone and Leonardo is selling E-Cat Heat at 20% discount to your current costs (cost must be verified impartially).





University central hot water heating plants (separated from public and private office spaces by at least always locked doors, security cameras and security patrol coverage) are considered suitable sites.

COP and radiation verifications and sensing may be done by customers outside the E-Cat enclosure, but they customers may NOT open the E-Cat enclosure at any time or the equipment will self-destruct (all resulting damage and costs will be on the customer's dime).

https://animpossibleinvention.com/2019/02/01/my-take-on-the-e-cat-sk-presenta...

What does it look like inside?    Matts Lewan explains ..... and posts pictures, carefully goes over the "known" development history.

We are told by Matts Lewan that the SX and the SK are very similar and this is a pic of an early fuel-less SX power tube in use.   Just fill the clear tube with Rossi's special fuel powders and gasses and you get a EUV plus super duper bright light that is turned into heat by impinging on the inside layers of cooled metal inside the inner reactor vessel wall -- this in turn heats up and provides hot water and steam to the customer ......

We are now told that the clear boron nitride tube has been done away with and the main reactor vessel wall is the inner wall of the cooling jacket.   We are forced to perhaps think the Rossi fuel is now provided as a mixed dust to be vaporized by the intense output light.   This dust could perhaps be renewed in place ????

Form a mental picture of a mercury vapor lamp acting on the mercury, turning it into a vapor which then coats everything and re-vaporizes quickly.



Rossi is all about balancing the heat produced such that it never melts the reactor down -- he needs a considerable coolant flow instantly available to drown out heat spikes which eventually will happen during the protracted SSM run times.

It is a very simple device, really.   The controller function is far more complex however.


 Roll Eyes


Apart from the specifications Matts Lewan reported in his last blog post,

From the presentation we also learned that:

*  the claimed COP (Coefficient of Performance—Output power/Input power) for the entire device is 57, with the electric input power being 380 W. However, the electric power is supposedly consumed almost entirely for cooling of the control panel and that heat is being reused at the output side at a net COP of 1 for all energy used either cooling or in running the control system.

*  The claimed power consumption of the E-Cat SK reactor proper is 0.8 mW, meaning that the COP for the reactor alone would be in the order of tens of millions during SSM.

*  The reactor could have a lifetime of about 20 years.

*  The fuel charge lasts at least one year, but it could last longer—Rossi has run the reactor for over a year on the same fuel charge and it has never been depleted.

*  The weight of the E-Cat SK is 9.1 kg.   (20 pounds)

*  Rossi believes that the agriculture and food industry could be among the first to benefit from heat produced by the E-Cat SK.

*  Introduction of domestic E-Cat models will be based on certification that can be done only after a long time experience from a significant number of industrial installations.

*  Over time, Rossi would consider sales of the device in itself, but not in the first phase when the IP has to be protected.

Each of the Rossi competitors are taking turns claiming some spotlight time, some for fictional "advancements" and some for the granting of partial patents for a process with a known very very poor COP.

Issue with all of them is they ARE NOT NEARLY READY TO SELL ANYTHING ..... and unless Rossi stubs his toe quite badly the competitors are a year to 2 years behind Rossi and will tend to stay that way.

Look for a Chinese competitor to start selling an illegal copied Rossi Rig sometime or another domestically inside China within the next year.   Chinese industrial espionage is notorious and it is known they have been digging away at learning all of Rossi's process secrets.

Brillouin is not above a 3 COP at this time unless they want to try to use some of the forbidden Rossi lithium tech that Industrial Heat shared with them and thus get their asses sued off by Rossi's legal team.

Randal Mills and Brilliant Light Power's longest run before melting it all down again was 12 minutes ..... so, The Brilliant Light Sun Cell is not really a practical product while it is still stuck at that sort of self-destructing performance level.

Rossi currently has a technical lock on things that will last a year or so, let's see what he can do with that initial lead before his secrets get re-discovered and widely disseminated.

Rossi has laid in plans that go past his lifetime so expect his company and his partners to continue on even if somebody does manage to cap Rossi or give him some new forms of cancer or whatever.


===================================================


Some of Rossi's critics have worked together with some of his boosters to translate the garbled gibberish into a written transcript that both sides agree is the best interpretation of the Rossi Speak presentation to date.

The fact that the opposing camps can AGREE on what was said is the transcript's best "proof of accuracy" .......

https://www.lenr-forum.com/attachment/7481-automatic-transcript-of-jan-31-201...


Clicking on this link downloads the text file to your computer.  You then open up the text file  to read it.


====================================================


Norwegian countries have other voices to listen to, distributor based communications given out in their own languages.   In these local areas, based on distributor communications, some folks who are at the true large industrial end of things will supposedly be buying steam from Rossi devices at discounts of 30 to 50 percent, depending upon individual volume/time agreements.

These are larger wholesale agreements on a truly large industrial volume basis.

Heating Energy Costs in Scandinavian countries are VERY LARGE compared to heating costs inside the USA (especially in the deep South near Florida).   These Scandinavian agreements are not puny retail sized agreements.

Since these proposed multi-reactor Rossi plants are MUCH LARGER and are likely have 5x or more times the improved raw COP numbers (they are running 5-10 reactors off a single controller box after all) compared to the single reactor single controller USA installation. These Scandinavian industrial sized implementations all run for much longer durations of time during the long sunless Scandinavian winters so one can understand the potentially differing pricing discount percentages that are being discussed by the Scandinavian distributors.

The point here is that normal negotiating techniques and normal local market forces are in play against these Rossi Scandinavian distributor's "provide some commercial heat" agreements.   Rossi's distributors are taking in initial offers and are making up some enticing deals in return.


===================================================


Question then becomes, will Rossi actually provide all the hardware and the web-based maintenance connection off a discounted distributor order and will Rossi be satisfied with the yet again reduced (by the distributor's profit margin) much smaller amounts of money the distributors will actually send on to him in exchange for his equipment and maintenance service?

       Roll Eyes      Tongue     Undecided

Past relationships and history between Rossi and his distributors is VERY SPOTTY at best, historically.  

Rossi has no problem permanently cutting off a distributor who cannot obey his rules and he has done so repeatedly in the past.  

Industrial Heat actually quietly bought up all these failed Rossi distributorships that existed at one particular point in time for peanuts on the dollar simply to clear the air (and in their mind to achieve their total monopoly over Rossi Tech) because nothing was ever sold by those errant distributors because nothing was ever built and supplied by Rossi for them to ship at the sub-Rossi approved prices.  

Rossi has indeed royally screwed over dozens of distributors over the years ......  some could say they deserved that screwing for what they were doing to screw him first though.


Tongue


Big question .....  Distributors and Rossi actually honoring these reduced pricing deals that the distributors have made.    The Answer to this important question is upcoming sometimes this year, with lawsuits to follow if needed.

Rossi has hit the newspapers in Oslo with the newspaper in question doing a really somewhat better than normal job reporting on LENR items.  

This is the picture of the local recognized expert, Former director Nils Holme at the Norwegian Defense Research Institute, that they used as their source for the positive viewpoint.   They also cited a balancing opposing source and view point from one of his old employees -- very fair reporting all in all I must say.

The very fact that the paper also quoted from the same source using a different person for the opposing viewpoint is showing clearly that science is very divided on the general subject of LENR -- but it is interesting to point out the opposing person cited does not doubt the effects are real, just that nobody can explain how it works.

- Relatively skeptical viewpoint
The Norwegian Defense Research Institute published a report last year on the entire LENR field. It was written by researcher Jon Øistein Hasvold and approved by today's management at the department. Hasvold did not attend the demonstration, but is considerably more skeptical than Holme. Hasvold writes in the report's conclusion that he perceives LENR as a real phenomenon, and that it is documented beyond any reasonable doubt that LENR creates a heat development which "cannot be explained by traditional chemical thermodynamics".

https://e-catworld.com/2019/02/07/google-university-of-maryland-file-patent-b...

Google, University of Maryland File Patent based on ‘High Density Electron Clouds’

Here is the abstract:

Enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation to induce plasmon oscillations in target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) in a way that produces high density electron clouds in localized regions of the target structures, thereby generating charge density variations around light element atoms located in the localized regions. Each target structure includes an electrically conductive body including light elements (e.g., a metal hydride/deuteride/tritide) that is configured to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation. The induced oscillations causes free electrons to converge in the localized region, thereby producing transient high electron charge density levels that enhance Coulomb repulsion screening around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions. Various systems capable of implementing enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening are described, and various nanostructure compositions and configurations are disclosed that serve to further enhance fusion reaction rates.

http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetaht...

The term ‘high density electron clouds’ is familiar in connection with the E-Cat. Rossi’s recent paper “E-Cat SK and long range particle interactions” starts with this sentence in the abstract: “Some theoretical frameworks that explore the possible formation of dense exotic electron clusters in E-Cat SK are presented.”

The Google/U of Maryland Patent talks about ‘low energy fission’ in the ‘Field of Invention’ section:

The present invention relates specifically to the generation of the light-Nuclei elements (LNEs) Lithium, Beryllium and Boron by the process of low energy fission, breaking down, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen (CNOs) with the introduction of instability to the CNOs heavy stable isotopes through the application high-frequency radio waves at the NMR frequency, in the presence of a strong magnetic field, of the targeted source material.


So, you got a major University and Google teaming up to do some elemental style research, filing patents off of what they understand that is basic and "new" in the Fission/Fusion realm.  

Rossi has already filed on the same general ‘high density electron clouds’ topic, except he's talking about using the ‘high density electron clouds’ conditional state to build up very light atoms, not taking apart some heavier elements into these same constituents.

Basic Transmutation Physics  as seen from both ends, in other words.


===================================================


Never seen before .........

Mathematical theory sites asking the peanut gallery for "the historical references" behind some of Rossi's published mathematics.  

Some of the intent shown here is obviously critical in nature, but the fact they are taking the effort to check the bonafides is new -- main science has never taken it that seriously before.


===================================================


As of Feb 20, 2019 Rossi  has accepted new orders for his product and is engaged in new installations at this time.


===================================================


The issue of the False Distributor has come up and has been answered most emphatically.  

WARNING TO THE READERS:

THERE IS A COMPANY THAT IS PROPOSING IN THE INTERNET TO INVEST IN THE ECAT TECHNOLOGY.

THE NAMES THIS COMPANY USES IS “E-CAT TECHNOLOGY” AND “E-CAT TECH”.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THEY ARE NOT OUR LICENSEES, THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FROM US TO MAKE ANY KIND OF INVESTMENTS COLLECTION ON OUR BEHALF AND THAT OUR ATTORNEYS HAVE ALREADY TAKEN ACTION AGAINST THESE PERSONS

I WANT TO STATE CLEARLY THAT LEONARDO CORPORATION WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS COMPANY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS ( NAMELY, THE ECAT ) IN ANY FORM AND WILL NEVER AUTHORIZE THEM TO SELL OUR SERVICES.

PLEASE BE ADVISED.
I AGAIN ENCOURAGE TO INFORM US OF ANY SIMILAR OFFER YOU RECEIVE FROM ANYBODY AND NOT TO PAY MONEY TO ANYBODY BEFORE HAVING OUR CONFIRMATION OF THE LEGITIMACY OF THE OFFER.
WARM REGARDS

DR ANDREA ROSSI, CEO OF LEONARDO CORPORATION



You must contact Rossi at Lenonardo to verify any special offers made by a distributor before paying anybody anything.   Failure to do so may have you wind up with your money GONE and no recourse for you to pursue as you did not verify the deal with Rossi directly as you were CLEARLY told to do.

Rossi is beginning to make Frank Acland a little tired always having to "Rossi-Translate" into colloquial English what he is trying to communicate.

Rossi: ‘Momentous Events’ Have Taken Place Following E-Cat Presentation
Posted on February 19, 2019 • 130 Comments
I have been curious to find out more about the impact of Leonardo Corporation’s presentation in terms of customer interest, so I asked a few questions about it on the Journal of Nuclear Physics:

Frank Acland
February 18, 2019 at 5:27 PM
Dear Andrea,

Since the event on Jan 31st, can you say which of the following you have done?

a) Responded to inquiries from potential customers.
b) Made agreements with new customers.
c) Built E-Cat SK plants for new customers.
d) Delivered new E-Cat SK plants to new customers.
e) Monitored E-Cat SK installations remotely.

Andrea Rossi’s reply:

Andrea Rossi
February 18, 2019 at 6:43 PM
Frank Acland:
a) yes
b) on course
c) on course
d) on course
e) yes

After these 18 days from the presentation of January 31st I can say that momentous events happened that are strongly reinforcing our situation. This allows me to confirm that the presentation of http://www.ecatskdemo.com has been very successful and that our target has been fully reached in perfect equilibrium with our possibilities.

Thanks also to the magnificent work made by you and Thomas Florek. Before the presentation , if you remember, I told you both ” Acland at the piano, Florek at the guitar and concertina, Rossi at the drums: if the Ecat doesn’t work, we have a plan B”: it appears the plan B will not be necessary.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

By ‘on course’ I think Rossi means that these things are in process, but not yet completed. As he mentions that momentous events have happened, he does seem to be very satisfied with how things have gone so far. Plan B might have been fun, but I doubt it would have been very momentous. We will have to watch and see if any evidence for plan A materializes.


So, Plan A is sell industrial heat installations to industrial customers, Plan B is to start up a small band if Plan A doesn't work out.

Frank Acland
February 21, 2019 at 10:19 AM
Dear Andrea,

Can you explain what you mean when you write about the ‘unexpected success’ of the January 31 presentation. Were you not expecting to have much success?

Kind regards,

Frank Acland

Andrea Rossi
February 21, 2019 at 12:24 PM
Frank Acland:
We expected to have success, but not the results we are having, that are well beyond our expectations. No plan B.
Warm Regards,
A.R.


Rossi is having "success beyond his expectations" on his initial "sales of heat" site selections and arrangements AND on his 100 kw reactor size testing (same reactor as before, just run a little hotter on the controller programming because that particular location is site tuned to go against a larger/better cooling load situation).

Individual customers are hitting up Rossi with TOTAL SECRECY non-disclosure agreements intended to keep the customer's name and installation locations totally secret which I guess makes sense as the 50% heat cost discount rate seems to be somewhat common in the very large (many months out of the year) Scandinavian heating contract installations that will run a years long contract for much longer periods of time.

Keeping this potential millions of dollars in "unannounced & unexpected profit" totally a business secret seems to be a goal of these companies, so they want to keep all these cards held tight up against their vest right now.

This secrecy won't hold up for long, obviously, but it won't be Rossi that breaks it ......   the oil distributor/supplier who gets his orders cut will have a business driven reason to want to leak this distressing news so he can collect damages in court due to breach of contract.

Once these oil contracts all run out, more openness may be able to take place.

Yes, ABB electrical engineers and programmers did the internet based controllers and the automated production lines and ABB is able to do the actual site installations for Rossi (they have the manpower and world-wide facilities to do this).   ABB is also accomplished at being able to keep their mouths shut which they do for many different customers and source suppliers.

It is thought that the Rossi controller lines are located at several ABB regional facilities, but obviously this is not officially known at this time.   Reactor shell construction is farmed out, but custom materials and powder mixing and reactor loading are all done at a Leonardo site.

Rossi is now struggling with the growth aspect of his roll in, and is answering it by off-loading every non-secret function to confidential business partners like ABB.

ABB knows a very great deal, but Rossi has likely held back on several key process items and materials.  Certainly he holds back his developmental process knowledge and his plans for "the next step" --- there is always a next step with Rossi as his brain keeps on working and his upgrade stages keep coming every 2 years, roughly.

If Rossi dropped dead, ABB could likely carry on development on the current step without Rossi, just not as well or as quickly ......

A research team at Rutgers University goes looking for the surface effects everyone has been posting pics of (spirals and screw pits in nickel granules, spirals in photo plates, etc. etc. -- i.e. the strange radiation marks)

So, a proper lab research group went to go debunk all that "crazy talk" (light goes directly into matter and matter goes directly into light) sort of thing, and guess what, they FOUND the spiral effects instead ......

RUTGERS UNIVERISTY, PUBLIC RELEASE: 18-FEB-2019

Rutgers and other physicists have discovered an exotic form of electrons that spin like planets and could lead to advances in lighting, solar cells, lasers and electronic displays.

It’s called a “chiral surface exciton,” and it consists of particles and anti-particles bound together and swirling around each other on the surface of solids, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Chiral refers to entities, like your right and left hands, that match but are asymmetrical and can’t be superimposed on their mirror image.

Excitons form when intense light shines on solids, kicking negatively charged electrons out of their spots and leaving behind positively charged “holes,” according to lead author Hsiang-Hsi (Sean) Kung, a graduate student in Physics Professor Girsh Blumberg’s Rutgers Laser Spectroscopy Lab at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.

The electrons and holes resemble rapidly spinning tops. The electrons eventually “spiral” towards the holes, annihilating each other in less than a trillionth of a second while emitting a kind of light called “photoluminescence.” This finding has applications for devices such as solar cells, lasers and TV and other displays.

The scientists discovered chiral excitons on the surface of a crystal known as bismuth selenide, which could be mass-produced and used in coatings and other materials in electronics at room temperature.

“Bismuth selenide is a fascinating compound that belongs to a family of quantum materials called ‘topological insulators,'” said senior author Blumberg, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the School of Arts and Sciences. “They have several channels on the surface that are highly efficient in conducting electricity.”

The dynamics of chiral excitons are not yet clear and the scientists want to use ultra-fast imaging to further study them. Chiral surface excitons may be found on other materials as well.

Rutgers co-authors include doctoral students Xueyun Wang and Alexander Lee, and Board of Governors Professor Sang-Wook Cheong in Rutgers Center for Emergent Materials, who developed the ultra-pure crystals for this study. Professor Dmitrii Maslov and graduate student Adamya Goyal at the University of Florida and principal investigator Alexander Kemper at North Carolina State University contributed to theory development and the interpretation of results.
