Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Recently, University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists discovered a super-black material that absorbs 99% of light. The new material, which is composed of wood, could ...

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 ...
