Prof. Jian Shi of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his collaborator, Dr. Joe Briscoe from Queen Mary University of London, share their insights on a novel optoelectronic phenomenon in their recent publication in Nature Reviews Physics (2025). In this article, they discuss the photogalvanic effect in a new class of semiconductors, examining the underlying mechanisms, scientific significance, and technological potential of these materials. For more on their findings, you can listen to a 6-minute podcast about the paper, generated by NotebookLM.
