Airborne microplastics absorb sunlight and boost warming, study finds Study links colored airborne plastics to notable ...

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 ...

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 achiral plasmonic ...

A dopant molecule accepts electrons from a chiral perovskite host, enabling visible light absorption while preserving the ...

Optical microscope image of a representative crystal that possesses centrosymmetry, yet shows differential absorption of circularly polarized light. The crystal is made of lithium, cobalt, selenium ...

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 ...

Researchers are making progress on the design of a solar battery made from an abundant, non-toxic and easily synthesized material composed of 2D carbon nitride. The collaborative effort between the ...

The world of science is always in a state of flux, evolving and growing with each new discovery. Recently, the race to create the blackest material has seen an exciting development. A newly created ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption.
