Soap films that are very thin compared to the wavelengths of light moving through them reflect no light at all, making them invisible. You see this at the top of the soap film in the Soap Film on a ...

The ultra-thin film, just 0.5mm thick, absorbs more than 99% of electromagnetic waves and reflects less than 1%, making it one of the most efficient shielding materials available.

Tandem solar-cell technology featuring silicon has been widely researched but materials such as perovskites, paired with established thin-film solar or with other perovskite cells, are pointing to ...

On the other hand, thin film interference filters manipulate light through reflection, using optical interference phenomena based on the wave nature of light. We will dive deeper into the mechanics of ...

Columbia University found perovskite thin film manufacturing can reduce cumulative energy use below that of both silicon and perovskite-silicon tandems by 80% or more, regardless of production method.

In this work, we investigate LIC growth on dielectric oxide thin films in air environment irradiated by MHz sub-ps laser at 515 nm. The experiments were performed in similar conditions as in the work ...

The thickness of the soap film changes as the water drains down the inside of the film. When light strikes the front surface of the soap film, some of the light is reflected (about 4 percent). The ...

Thin film freezing works with different types of commercially available ... we can have up to 80 or 90 percent drug loading,” as long as there is enough mass to deliver it through a dry powder ...

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film photodetectors combined with optical filters are routinely used for biological detection applications based on fluorescence. Monolithic integration of these ...
