Researchers used theoretical calculations assessing electron orbital symmetry to synthesize new molecule designed to be both transparent and colorless while absorbing near-infrared light. This ...

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), are among the most significant radiatively-active components in the Earth system. LACs play crucial ...

What just happened? The solar energy revolution might be about to shift into an even higher gear. Researchers in Germany have developed a groundbreaking new light-harvesting system that could drive a ...

(Nanowerk News) Getting a molecule to do what you want it to do is not always easy. As an example, an organic molecule will absorb only certain wavelengths of light based on its arrangement of ...
