From EurekAlert! - Breaking News:
UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers. The research could lead to a brighter polarized light source for LEDs in laptop computers, cell phones and other consumer electronics devices.
The researchers have succeeded in taking semiconducting polymers — plastics that consist of long chains of atoms that work as semiconductors — and stretching them out in a silica (glass) host matrix so that they have new optical properties.
