A research team has enhanced the titanium oxo clusters’ capacity to absorb solar energy. Their work demonstrates a successful method for modifying the behaviors of these clusters in terms of light ...

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 ...

Several light sources produce light across various wavelengths. While this wavelength spectrum can be useful in lighting applications, other applications require light with a restricted visible ...

Inserting any material into a special maze of mirrors and lenses can make it absorb light perfectly. This approach could be used to detect faint starlight or for charging faraway devices with lasers.
