"interface 2D semiconductor tungsten diselenide with organic semiconductor perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride... energy transfers from 2D to organic layer in <10⁻¹³ seconds... excitons generally immobile (localized), excitons highly mobile (delocalized), hybrid at interface harnesses best of both: 2D materials' speed/ movement alongside organic chemistry's light-harvesting strengths... solar cells' more efficient energy capture/ transfer, ultrafast optoelectronics, quantum state manipulation for information processing"
