Chiral molecules have structures that cannot be superimposed on their mirror image, like left and right hands. Many ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption.

The world of science is always in a state of flux, evolving and growing with each new discovery. Recently, the race to create the blackest material has seen an exciting development. A newly created ...

A University at Buffalo-led team has found a way to help chiral semiconductors (electronic materials whose structures are ...

A dopant molecule accepts electrons from a chiral perovskite host, enabling visible light absorption while preserving 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 ...

(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 ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

Researchers have demonstrated a material for next generation dynamic windows, which would allow building occupants to switch their windows between three modes: transparent, or 'normal' windows; ...

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 ...
