Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories ...

Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research ...

Engineers have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.50% in a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell built with a special textured anti-reflective coating (ARC) polymeric film. A research team, ...

The latest research in ACS Applied Energy Materials has shown that vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays are capable of massively increasing light absorption and causing a significant ...

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

New research reveals the core structure of the light-harvesting antenna of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae -- including key features that both collect energy and block excess light absorption.

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 ...

Virtual Light Absorption Process (IMAGE) Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology Caption This is a schematic of a virtual light absorption process: A layer of a transparent material is exposed to ...

Direct laser processing of material surfaces is a powerful technique for modifying the optical and electrical properties of those materials, often through the creation of nanostructures on the surface ...
