Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research ...

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to "virtually" absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

The latest research in ACS Applied Energy Materials has shown that vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays are capable of massively increasing light absorption and causing a significant ...

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 ...

The deep-rooted beliefs that light absorption and scattering are totally harmful to fluorescence catching urge most researchers to chase a perfect window with minimal photon absorption and scattering ...

A method for measuring light absorption throughout the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is known as ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry. Incident light can ...

NanoDrop™ Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometers from Thermo Scientific™ are robust, useful analytical tools, ideal for measuring absorbance when working with small sample volumes. Thermo Scientific ...
