Everything was covered with a thick layer of grime, from the old fashioned metal light fittings to door handles and banisters.
They used intense nanosecond pulses of laser light to turn the metal's lustrous surface a deep black.
The polymers were covered with a thin aluminum coating, but once fed electricity, they began to glow so brightly that light shone through the metal.
Its dimpled titanium skin, an unusual application of this strong, light and corrosion-resistant metal, contributes substantially, especially on the river side.
Though her ambition always tolled in the background, she had come to respect him, for his unstudied fairness, his gaiety, his integrity and openness, which was as plain and light and valuable as a metal unknown in her world.
Kelly has a tactile feeling for watery surfaces, and he works with vast industrial spaces huge research installations that seem to be all metal exoskeleton and eerie white light.
The only instruments capable of measuring such vibrations, though, were spectroscopes--meter-long glass-and-metal optical devices that used infrared light.
The only instruments capable of measuring such vibrations, though, were spectroscopes--4-foot-long glass-and-metal optical devices that used infrared light.
Metal-rubber mirrors would be light and rugged, and would be ideal for use in cameras, space probes or satellites.
At a shopping center in Mount Juliet, large sheets of metal littered the parking lot and light poles were knocked down.
Electrons in a metal are free to oscillate when light hits them.
Feature photography: Javier Manzano, a free-lance photographer, for his extraordinary picture distributed by Agence France-Presse of two Syrian rebel soldiers tensely guarding their position as beams of light stream through bullet holes in a nearby metal wall.
It consists of 40 upright metal poles, which are supposed to light up in different colours at night.
It is intended to deliver ambient light rather than directed light for tasks, and contains a nickel-metal-hydride battery, rather than a cheaper nickel-cadmium cell.
Blackening copper allows it to absorb more light and heat, increasing the range of uses for the metal.
The system with a nitride semiconductor and a metal catalyst generates mainly formic acid from CO2 and water with light at a world's top efficiency of 0.2%.
Tungsten, which is used in metal-working, construction and in the manufacture of electrical equipment and light bulbs, was discovered at Hemerdon in 1867.
To dig up the raw material, process it, convert from oxide to fluoride to metal to iodide, to mix it with mercury, make their own light bulbs, all of this within each of the different 192 sets of national boundaries.
They had a slightly larger yard than most of their crammed-in neighbors, so they had closed it off with sheets of rusty corrugated metal, and there, at four long wooden tables beneath a string of light bulbs which dangled from a second-story clostra-block window, they served up to thirty customers per night, if the turnover was fast.
It is hoped the lightweight metal columns, which are completely recyclable, will save money as well as limiting light pollution.
The material is an organic photovoltaic semiconductor (called rr-P3HT) which, unlike the metal or silicon-based materials used until now for such biotechnological interfaces, is soft, light, flexible and highly biocompatible and naturally sensitive to visible light.
In addition to the rusty metal chair on which he was placed, with his hands still cuffed, it had a fluorescent light whose flickering beams penetrated the black cloth that covered his eyes.
