Dark matter is one of nature's most confounding mysteries. It keeps particle physicists up at night and cosmologists glued to ...

We’re all taught that water is clear, so why does the ocean look so strikingly blue when we’re staring out […] ...

A liquid matrix is beneficial for improving the luminescence performance of quantum dots (QDs), although it is difficult to be packaged with light-emitting diode (LED) chips. In this study, liquid-QDs ...

Multiple Scattering from Electrospun Nanofibers with Embedded Silver Nanoparticles of Tunable Shape for Random Lasers and White-Light-Emitting Diodes Wei-Cheng Chen ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

That’s because dark colors absorb light, whereas light colors — like that of a pristine, white ice sheet — are reflective. If ice gets covered in dark particles, it melts faster. “2023 was a record ...

Using colored grout is a simple way to make those backsplashes and tiled kitchen walls look a little more interesting without ...

What color is moonlight typically, and what other colors can moonlight look like from our perspective on Earth?

See our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy in a whole new light The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On a clear night, ...

Herein, a facile, easily scalable technique is reported to fabricate white-light-activated bactericidal surfaces by incorporating zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and crystal violet (CV) dye into poly ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key milestone toward demonstrating the advantage of quantum methods ...
