“Highly transparent solar cells represent the wave of the future for new solar applications,” said Richard Lunt, a professor at MSU, in a news release at the time.

"Highly transparent solar cells represent the wave of the future for new solar applications," said Lunt. "We analyzed their potential and show that by harvesting only invisible light, these ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'. When you ...

Scientists make transparent materials absorb light. Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Journal Optica Funder Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (Minobrnauka) (3. ...

Transparency is generally a property of a material's density or crystal structure, and varies depending on the wavelength of light. However, transparency can also be achieved by exploiting quantum ...

A transparent substance will allow light to travel through on a straight line, in a turbid substance the light will be scattered numerous times, traveling on more complicated zig-zag trajectories.

Researchers have succeeded in temporarily turning the skin of mice transparent by smearing them with common food dye. While it's not clear yet whether this approach is safe for humans, the scientists ...

Yet light also possesses another fundamental characteristic, known as its phase, which is essentially how 'far along' a light wave is relative to a specific reference location.

The double-slit experiment, first performed by Thomas Young in 1801, involves shining a beam of light on a plate or card with two small slits cut into it for the light to pass through.

The recorded image remains when the light source is removed. Because the material is elastic, these embedded nanostructures are deformed when stretched, changing the color of the reflected light.
