Organic aerosols in the atmosphere comprise a complex mixture of carbon-containing particles that can absorb solar radiation to varying degrees. Unlike black carbon, which absorbs broadly across ...
Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...
New research reveals the core structure of the light-harvesting antenna of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae -- including key features that both collect energy and block excess light absorption.
