A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Ottawa have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...

If you want to stand out at your next metal gig, don't settle for a spot of color in a sea of black – go ultrablack instead. Engineers at Cornell University have created the blackest fabric on record, ...

Researchers have developed a new method for light and matter interaction, paving the way for the production of ultrathin silicon solar cells. The University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) team's ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass. Over the past decades, many physicists worldwide have ...

A research team has enhanced the titanium oxo clusters’ capacity to absorb solar energy. Their work demonstrates a successful method for modifying the behaviors of these clusters in terms of light ...

Several light sources produce light across various wavelengths. While this wavelength spectrum can be useful in lighting applications, other applications require light with a restricted visible ...
