Scientists have developed a fully transparent skin sensor that accurately measures UV radiation, detecting light and ...

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 ...

A dye that helps to give Doritos their orange hue can also turn mouse tissues transparent, researchers have found. Applying the dye to the skin of live mice allowed scientists to peer through tissues ...

The ideal material for constructing a building will be low cost and be of a low energy demand. Such a material will also have a low carbon footprint, and be efficient in terms of heating the building ...

Engineers have announced the development of a transparent temperature sensor capable of precisely and quickly measuring temperature changes caused by light. This technology is expected to contribute ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated a fast, scalable, and cost-effective method to produce films that change color when stretched (Nat. Mater. 2022, DOI: ...
