Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...

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 ...

Optical microscope image of a representative crystal that possesses centrosymmetry, yet shows differential absorption of circularly polarized light. The crystal is made of lithium, cobalt, selenium ...

Foundations of Nano Materials Science So, what exactly is nano materials science all about? It’s basically looking ...

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

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 achiral plasmonic ...

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 ...
