Cambridge scientists develop an organic semiconductor that generates electric charge directly from absorbed light.

Modern chemistry is increasingly focused on developing sustainable processes that reduce energy consumption and minimize ...

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 ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...

Surrey NanoSystems of Newhaven, England, has developed what it calls the “world's blackest material.” Formulated primarily as a coating for optical instruments in space, the material, which derives ...

CU Boulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS The strength of the bond between carbon and fluorine ...
