Light absorption is a cornerstone for several applications such as solar cells, photodetectors, and optical sensors, to name a few. Yet, the trade-off between the thickness of the absorber and its ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have recently proposed a design concept for a tunable broadband perfect absorber based on ...

The development of clean and low-cost solar photovoltaic technology is crucial for the global transition toward carbon ...

An Italian research team claims a first for solar modules based on air stable lead-free and tin-free antimony-based light absorber, a perovskite-inspired material. The mini modules have a 1.2% power ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University report they have built a record-setting pyroelectric photodetector that uses trapped light in a plasmonic nanogap to capture a signal in just 125 picoseconds ...
