A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

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

Highly enhanced UV absorption and light emission of monolayer WS2 through hybridization with Ti2N MXene quantum dots and g-C3N4 quantum dots This work represents a significant advancement in the field ...

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 ...

Once the illumination and view angles are determined, LESS calculates the proportions of the four components within each pixel (red rectangle) using ray tracing and subsequently generates the ...

CU Boulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS The strength of the bond between carbon and fluorine ...

In the booming industry of Outdoor Lighting, there is a confusing phenomenon: A contractor buys a “10,000 Lumen” solar street light, installs it, and yet the road remains dangerously dim. The battery ...
