Researchers have engineered tiny gold nanospheres that can soak up almost the entire spectrum of solar energy, promising a ...

Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as ...

Gold nanospheres, named supraballs, absorb solar wavelengths that even traditional photovoltaic materials miss.

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at ...

The infrared spectral characteristics of organic-rich acid residues prepared from Ryugu samples returned by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission generally match those from unheated carbonaceous chondrite ...

Can you briefly explain what transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is and why it is important? Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is a pump-and-probe technique used to study the absorption of ...

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is cross-sensitive with NO2 and SO2, which is a key obstruction for accurately monitoring its concentration. In this work, a NO monitoring system was developed. An ...

In dissolved gas analysis of transformers, methane is one of the key indicators for fault diagnosis, thus accurate methane detection means a lot for early transformer failure caused by partial ...
