Normally, a material absorbs and emits heat in a linked way: A surface that absorbs heat well at a certain wavelength and ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have developed a novel organic molecule that simultaneously exhibits two highly sought-after properties: efficient light emission suitable for advanced displays and ...

A reconfigurable device breaks the usual link between heat absorption and emission, enabling direction-controlled thermal ...

A new publication in Opto-Electronic Science discusses boosting UV light absorption in a 2D semiconductor with quantum dot hybrids for enhanced light emission. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal ...

Transitions between different electronic energy levels in elements occur at unique energies and intensities, giving each element a distinctive emission spectrum. When the energy of an incident photon ...

For more than 160 years, engineers building anything that generates or manages heat have worked under a rule so reliable it might as well have been gravity: whatever surface absorbs infrared radiation ...

While studying Pluto and Saturn’s largest moon Titan, researchers spotted a missing band of light in their spectral ...
