Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a growing form of clean energy that currently produces about 3.5 gigawatts worth of power across the world, enough to power two million homes. This alternate form of ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light differently depending on the handedness of the ...

Ruthenium-functionalized nanodiamonds generate powerful solvated electrons under visible light, bypassing the deep UV ...

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 ...

Researchers are making progress on the design of a solar battery made from an abundant, non-toxic and easily synthesized material composed of 2D carbon nitride. The collaborative effort between the ...
