Researchers have developed a new ultra-black car coating that absorbs 99.9% of visible light, making vehicles appear almost ...
To create the darkest black, scientists invented an ultra-black carbon nanotube automotive coating that absorbs over 99% of ...
A new ultra-black automotive coating absorbs 99.9% of visible light, creating a deeper black finish that could be used on ...
Scientists from University of Regensburg, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Moscow institute of Physics and Technology, and University of Kansas have discovered abnormally strong light absorption ...
Atmospheric organic aerosol (OA) are considered as a significant contributor to the light absorption of OA, but its relationship with abundance, composition and sources are not understood well. In ...
A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. This groundbreaking study reveals that ...
Organic aerosols in the atmosphere comprise a complex mixture of carbon-containing particles that can absorb solar radiation to varying degrees. Unlike black carbon, which absorbs broadly across ...
New research reveals the core structure of the light-harvesting antenna of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae -- including key features that both collect energy and block excess light absorption.
Metasurfaces make quantum dot films cooler where they emit more efficiently, turning light-controlled temperature gradients into self-powered electrical signals.
