The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it's been thought ...

A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. This groundbreaking study reveals that ...

Electrical engineers have determined the theoretical fundamental limit for how much electromagnetic energy a transparent material with a given thickness can absorb. The finding will help engineers ...

In everyday life, designing spaces that both let air flow and absorb sound can be a tricky balancing act. Usually, materials that allow air to pass through—like vents—also let sound escape, making it ...

Water vapour continuum absorption refers to the smooth, broadband absorption observed in the atmospheric windows, which fills the spectral gaps between distinct molecular absorption lines. This ...
