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 ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...

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

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 ...

Achieving optical transparency First author Zihao Ou holds a vial of the common yellow food dye tartrazine in solution. By applying a mixture of water and tartrazine, Ou and colleagues made the skin ...
