A team of scientists from Japan’s RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics have revealed how carbon nanotubes emit more energetic ...

Further examination revealed the incredible light absorption properties of the new super-black material. The team, led by PhD student Kenny Cheng from the University of British Columbia (UBC ...

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), are among the most significant radiatively-active components in the Earth system. LACs play ...

You can see a video about the work, below. It stands to reason that white materials reflect most light and therefore absorb less energy than black materials — this is part of what makes a ...

A white hole is thought to be the reverse of a black hole, expelling light and matter rather than absorbing them. Now, a team of researchers has designed a novel optical device with intriguing ...
