Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report that gold ...

Water vapour absorbs radiation at many wavelengths, but it absorbs infrared and ultraviolet radiation – which are strongly emitted by the Sun – particularly well. The different energy transitions in ...

The use of T-rays, or terahertz radiation, to identify substances by their spectroscopic fingerprints is a rapidly moving field. The dominant approach is presently terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

The study, published in Advanced Functional Materials, offers new insights into the mechanics of PDMS surfaces, opening up greater potential for its practical application in environmental monitoring ...
