Researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin have successfully performed X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) experiments in a laser laboratory for the first time….
A new technique that generates a sharp image through the use of a low-cost, random scattering medium in real-time could offer a solution to the…
Have you ever wondered why your computer and other electronic devices sometimes perform quickly and other times slowly? It all boils down to the speed…
Scientists from Japan and Germany have devised a novel, sustainable method for converting blue LED light into UVB. An international team from Japan and Germany…
A recent study published in Diabetologia has found a link between exposure to outdoor artificial light at night (LAN) and an increased risk of diabetes,…
Researchers have created fluorophores between 2.4 and 20 times more intense than analogs. Scientists have created, synthesized, and analyzed a new class of fluorophores, which…
This major scientific advance has implications for many fields, including energy-efficient computers and quantum technology. Until recently, physicists widely believed that it was impossible to compress…
A formula developed by Rice engineers identifies materials for 3D displays and virtual reality. If you’re going to break a rule with style, make sure…
An international team is now one step closer to explaining a central observation. Charles Darwin has had a greater influence on science than most. Though…
Night lights, left-on TVs, and smartphones have all been related to dramatically greater disease rates A recent Northwestern Medicine study of older men and women…
Light-based upcycling: crosslinked polymers produced from biomass Society today would not be able to exist without plastics, from low-cost mass-produced items to specialized high-tech materials….
Biochemical ‘action shots’ with SLAC’s X-ray laser could help scientists develop synthetic enzymes for medicine and answer fundamental questions about how enzymes change during chemical…
A newly published study from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics reveals that UV light may have played a critical role in the emergence of life…
Using a two-stage process that captures heat loss and reflects it back to the filament to be re-absorbed and re-emitted as visible light, engineers from…
New quantum-dot technology is set to make LCD TVs more colorful and energy-efficient, all while costing less than OLED displays and other color gamut boosting…
Quantum computers will be able to perform tasks that silicon-based computers wouldn’t be able to do, like cracking the codes that protect bank transactions. Several…
A team of scientists and engineers report that within a nanometer-scale device, visible light can travel infinitely fast. While this won’t lead to instantaneous communication,…
A new Italian experiment indicates that neutrinos stay within the speed of light. The findings were posted on arXiv.org as a preprint, and contradict rival…
