Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report that gold ...
A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.
Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...
Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...
