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

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

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

A material built to tell left-handed light from right-handed light has long had a frustrating weakness. It mostly ignored ...

RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular ...

In the increasingly digital world, the demand for faster, more efficient and miniaturized optical devices is ever-growing.

University at Buffalo researchers have created a new material system that allows "handed" (chiral) semiconductors to absorb ...

The term "low-light performance" may sound a bit technical, but it’s actually quite simple. When we buy solar panels, we often see a "power rating," which is measured under standard laboratory ...

A nanoparticle-based coating developed at the University of California San Diego can convert more than 90 percent of captured ...

Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have developed light-responsive hydrogel films that can rapidly reshape soft ...

The Devil Wears Prada made a cerulean sweater a moment in fashion history. But its scientific history is much older, and more ...
