Scienceworks is about to light up with Colour, a spectacular exhibition opening on Saturday 21 March. Developed by Questacon ...

When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

A tandem catalytic strategy is developed to convert polystyrene waste into a spectrum of aromatic intermediates and subsequently into a single dominant product, toluene. This tandem design enhances ...

Abstract: This paper quantifies the weight of the different physical mechanisms (reflection, diffraction, and scattering) in a typical indoor THz wireless communication environment and provides an ...
