Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar thermal storage technology. The anthracene systems, derived from a by-product of ...

Atmospheric black carbon (BC) is a potent absorber of sunlight, exerting a significant warming influence on the climate system. Generated by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, BC ...

If you're looking for hydrogen on the elemental chart, it won't take you long to find it. It is right there at the beginning, ...

A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. This groundbreaking study reveals that ...

Imagine a car so black it behaves like a sort of black hole on wheels. Instead of bouncing back sunlight toward your eyes, almost every ray is swallowed, giving the vehicle an unusually flat and ...

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 ...
