A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240002 , discusses boosting UV Light Absorption in 2D Semiconductor with quantum dot hybrids for enhanced light emission.

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

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 at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories on the structure of black carbon particles—such as those emitted by ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

Aerosol scientists quantify the extent of light absorption by black carbon in fire clouds to better model climate impacts of extreme wildfire events. In an actively warming world, large-scale ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...

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 ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers have developed and analysed a series of manganese-based molecular complexes with the potential to advance photochemical and ...
