Princeton researchers have uncovered new rules governing how objects absorb and emit light, fine-tuning scientists' control over light and boosting research into next-generation solar and optical ...

One of the most unusual sights in the world is a glacier. Glaciers are found in mountain locations and in the coldest regions on earth. They are often a surprising and beautiful blue color. But snow ...

This episode is about how different objects absorb or reflect light, called albedo. We will use dark things and light things to show how it works. It all comes down to this thing called albedo. White ...

With morning and nighttime routines alone, people spend plenty of time looking in the mirror, but did you know the history of this everyday item dates to 4000 B.C.? According to Brown University’s ...

Growing up in south Texas, I can tell you the summer heat was brutal — and not far off from what we experience here in Oklahoma. So why are we often told it is best to wear light-colored clothing in ...

Superparamagnetic nanocrystals are used for producing inks with magnetic field-controllable color. The color of most everyday objects is determined by the way in which chemicals within the objects ...
