We use a new approach to characterize the absorption characteristics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in standard solutions and in several tropical lake ecosystems (Lake Victoria, Lake ...

Several light sources produce light across various wavelengths. While this wavelength spectrum can be useful in lighting applications, other applications require light with a restricted visible ...

A small team of chemists, having learned the secrets of light absorption from chlorophylls a and b, can now tune molecules to absorb anywhere in the solar spectrum. They are using this facility to ...

Researchers have created a dye-sensitized photocatalyst that captures long-wavelength visible light to double solar hydrogen production efficiency.

A research group led by Associate Professor Masahito Murai of the Graduate School of Science and Professor Shigehiro Yamaguchi of the Functional Organic Materials Laboratory has successfully developed ...

A team of authors from MIPT, Kansas State University, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have demonstrated that it is possible to fully absorb electromagnetic radiation using an anisotropic ...

Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to waste. Instead of relying only on the most energetic visible wavelengths, ...

UV-visible range microspectroscopy is an important method used for analyzing biological materials. In this experiment, red blood cells were studied with both UV range microspectroscopy and ultraviolet ...
