Fluorescent dyes enable the visualization of biomolecular localization and dynamics in living systems. To date, no single ...

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 ...

Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories on the structure of black carbon particles—such as those emitted by ...

In a pioneering move, new research from Abdullah Gül University (Türkiye) reimagines the structure of organic photovoltaic cells, opting for a hemispherical shell shape to unlock unprecedented ...

Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

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 ...
