Researchers have long sought to develop multifunctional stealth materials capable of evading detection across different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, achieving compatible stealth ...

A research group has discovered that near-infrared absorbing dyes, which had previously been considered to have closed-shell electronic structures, have an intermediate electronic structure, between ...

The 8YSZ coating was prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying technology with the feedstock powder. Through a waveguide method and infrared emissivity measurement instrument, the microwave absorbing ...

Normally, an object in thermal equilibrium with its environment emits and absorbs thermal radiation at the same rate (left). But researchers have developed a multilayer material (right) that, when ...

The world of science is always in a state of flux, evolving and growing with each new discovery. Recently, the race to create the blackest material has seen an exciting development. A newly created ...

The versatile nano-printing platform that assembles solution-phase colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) and modifies their properties ...

Controlling a molecule is not always simple. For instance, the precise arrangement of electrons in an organic molecule determines the wavelengths of light it can absorb; this can be challenging to ...

Photothermal AFM-IR is a highly effective method for nanoscale chemical analysis, ideally suited to the stringent requirements of semiconductor research and production. By integrating the spatial ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the normally equal balance between thermal absorption and emission, enabling ...
