<p>Whether ultramarine, cerulean, Egyptian or cobalt, blue pigments have colored artworks for centuries. Now, seemingly out of the blue, scientists have discovered a new blue pigment that uses less cobalt but still maintains a brilliant shine. Though something like this might only happen once in a blue moon, the cobalt-doped barium aluminosilicate colorant described in <em>ACS Applied Optical Materials </em>withstands the high temperatures found in a kiln and provides a bright ...

New nanocavities pave the way for enhanced nanoscale lasers and LEDs that could enable faster data transmission using smaller, more energy-efficient devices. As we transition to a new era in computing, there is a need for new devices that integrate electronic and photonic functionalities at the n

Some residents of Corvallis are upset about plans for a subdivision near their homes, and soon they're taking the fight before county leaders.The proposed subdi

Since the emergence of nonlinear optics in the 1960s, significant progress has been made in photonic technologies and their applications. This has led to the development of several materials that have nonlinear interactions with matter.

An intuitive optical chip that can organize itself to do a number of tasks has been created by researchers.

Solar wind implantation is thought to be one of the primary mechanisms in the formation of water (OH/H2O) on the surface of the Moon and possibly on the surface of other airless bodies. The lunar nearside spends ~27% of its daytime in Earth’s magnetotail where the solar wind flux is reduced by as much as ~99%. However, no correlated decrease in surficial water content has yet been seen on the lunar nearside. Here we report abundance observations of lunar surficial water on the nearside at ...
