Layer-structured two-dimensional nanomaterials are a family of materials with strong covalent bonding within layers and weak van der Waals interaction between layers, whose vertical thickness can be ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Vision is the perception of light. To comprehend the nature of human vision, an understanding of the properties ...

Sketch of the concept: a disordered medium (top) is made perfectly transmitting by placing a custom-made anti-reflection coating in front of it (bottom). (Courtesy: TU Wien) A new technique that ...

The light trap: The set-up comprises a partially transparent mirror, a thin, weak absorber, two converging lenses and a totally reflecting mirror. Due to precisely calculated interference effects, the ...

As measuring translucent materials has endless applications, focus is given to the generic principle of transmission measurement. Measurements of foils, thin film, glass and even liquids in cuvettes ...

A surprising trick that allows a beam of light to be completely absorbed even in the thinnest of layers: Using mirrors and lenses, a 'light trap' can be constructed, in which the light beam is steered ...

In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...

With SoundFlow, models of multi-layered wall constructions can be created for predictions of absorption, reflection and transmission. Wall construction simulation is set up via a few clicks a ...

In this interview, Sue Berets, the Applications Scientist at Harrick Scientific, talks to AZoM about specular reflectance measurements and the difference between absolute and relative. Please tell us ...

Snow is a bunch of ice crystals stuck together. It’s a very complex arrangement. To understand why snow is white, we must be familiar with what happens to light when it strikes any material. The color ...
