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 ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a wood-based smart window that adjusts light, blocks ...

Researchers in the Republic of Korea are pushing smart-window design beyond glass. Professor Sung Ho Song at Kongju National ...

When switched off, it remains transparent to light and heat – ideal for those drab winter days when you need as much of both as possible. When some electrons and lithium ions are injected into the ...

A new physics theory could explain why transparent ceramics manipulate light far better than existing models predicted. Study: Dynamic Atomistic Polar Structure Underpins Ultrahigh Linear ...

(Nanowerk News) What happens when you expose tellurite glass to femtosecond laser light? That’s the question that Gözden Torun at the Galatea Lab, in a collaboration with Tokyo Tech scientists, aimed ...

Transparent materials can generate electricity when exposed to light, even if they have a vanishingly small absorption of such light. Floquet Fermi liquid states are a variant of Fermi liquids ...

These mini-pyramids scatter 73% of the light that hits them, which gives the material that frosted look. But despite that, it’s surprisingly more transparent to light than regular glass – 95% ...
