Scientists have identified a way for a solar-energy material to absorb light strongly while holding on to the resulting ...

Photonic systems are quickly gaining traction in many emerging applications, including optical communications, lidar sensing, and medical imaging. However, the widespread adoption of photonics in ...

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, ...

Scientists from University of Regensburg, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Moscow institute of Physics and Technology, and University of Kansas have discovered abnormally strong light absorption ...

A multipass integrating-sphere method measures scattering and absorption losses in YAG and Yb:YAG ceramics with sevenfold ...

Add one double bond to a structural formula. That double bond connects with another double bond to become conjugated.Even if it looks like a small change, the light that the molecule absorbs may ...

A new review in Science Bulletin examines how chiral organic semiconductors can directly distinguish left- and right-handed circularly polarized light and convert that handedness into electrical ...

Absorption spectroscopy is an analytical chemistry tool that can determine if a particular substance is present in a sample by measuring the intensity of the light absorbed as a function of wavelength ...
