Bobbing along on the research vessel Western Flyer just outside California’s Monterey Bay, marine biologist Karen Osborn and her colleagues were hauling deep-sea fish to the surface for cataloging and ...

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

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 ...

(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 ...

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 have created a dye-sensitized photocatalyst that captures long-wavelength visible light to double solar hydrogen ...

Scientists have created the blackest fabric yet – and it could be adorning your evening wear in a few years. Like an eternal black hole, the fabric absorbs 99.87 per cent of light while reflecting the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Princeton researchers have uncovered new rules governing how objects absorb and emit light, fine-tuning scientists' control over light and boosting research into next-generation solar and optical ...

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 reporting progress on the road to more efficient utilization of solar energy: They have developed an innovative light-harvesting system. In order to convert sunlight into electricity ...
