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 ...
Normally, an object in thermal equilibrium with its environment emits and absorbs thermal radiation at the same rate (left). But researchers have developed a multilayer material (right) that, when ...
(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Symmetrical crystals can absorb light asymmetrically: Discovery could lead to new technologies that control light
Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...
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 ...
A research group led by Associate Professor Masahito Murai of the Graduate School of Science and Professor Shigehiro Yamaguchi of the Functional Organic Materials Laboratory has successfully developed ...
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 ...
Most pixels in cameras detect only red, green or blue light. A sensor made from perovskite materials absorbs all three, improving image brightness and resolution. Shuming Nie is in the Grainger ...
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have accidentally discovered a new super-black substance that absorbs nearly all light. This breakthrough opens the door to applications in fine ...
