We have an obligation to provide energy to those who need it, but burning more fossil fuels in the form of coal, oil and gas is going to worsen global warming and threaten food and water security ...

To combine two low-energy photons into one high-energy photon efficiently, the energy must be able to hop freely, but not too quickly, between randomly oriented molecules of a solid. The discovery ...

Plastic straws, high flow toilets and incandescent light bulbs could make comebacks as President Donald Trump works to end certain environmental standards. Trump called for "common sense standards on ...

A group of scientists and engineers that includes researchers from The University of Texas at Austin has created a new class of materials that can absorb low energy light and transform it into higher ...

The potential of using low-energy light to shape ferroelectric thin films for micro devices is advancing with an international team of researchers most recently reporting success with "photostriction.

A team of engineers and scientists that comprises scientists from The University of Texas at Austin has developed a new class of materials that can absorb low energy light and convert it into higher ...

It was unclear what allows the energy of two low-energy photons to efficiently combine. Kobe University researchers now found that two molecules in an excited state have to be aligned, and for that to ...

A new class of materials that can absorb low energy light and transform it into higher energy light might lead to more efficient solar panels, more accurate medical imaging and better night vision ...
