The scientist dropped iodine into the tray, forming crystals that absorbed light.
The advance provides evidence to support a controversial idea, called multiple-exciton generation (MEG), which theorizes that it is possible for an electron that has absorbed light energy, called an exciton, to transfer that energy to more than one electron, resulting in more electricity from the same amount of absorbed light.
FORBES: Using Quantum Dots to Make Solar Panels More Efficient
The spectrometers will also measure properties including molecular weight, electrical charges and the amount of light absorbed at different wavelengths.
When a photon of light is absorbed by a dye molecule, an electron is knocked into the titanium dioxide.
ECONOMIST: A new type of cell may bring ��solar�� energy indoors
Instead of the light being absorbed, energy is stored in the magnetic moment.
This light was tuned to be absorbed by gold and was thus converted into heat only in places where the rods had accumulated.
The primary function of oxybenzone is to absorb ultraviolet light, but some research shows oxybenzone can be absorbed through the skin.
As the particles are absorbed by the crystals, they give up their remaining energy as light providing further information about their identity.
By shining laser light onto hydrogen or antihydrogen and observing which wavelengths are absorbed, the energy levels of the two can be compared in detail.
The laser Mr Hansen uses emits light with a wavelength of 2, 940 nanometres, which is primarily absorbed by water.
Albacore tuna is higher in mercury than canned light tuna because canned tuna is largely younger, smaller fish that haven't absorbed as much mercury.
To remedy this problem, Kylie Catchpole of the Australian National University in Canberra and Albert Polman of the Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam have been trying to redirect the light that falls onto the surface of a cell in such a way that all colours are efficiently absorbed.
