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…
A team of scientists at MIT have developed a new light source from a fiber roughly as thick as a human hair. The fiber has…
Based on computer simulations, new research shows that a new metamaterial design is able to absorb a wide range of light with extremely high efficiency….
A new study published in the journal Nature Methods, shows that a novel local anesthetic developed by a group of researchers at UC Berkeley, University…
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are pushing circuitry forward by replacing electricity with light. By moving to shorter wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, they…
Back in September, the revolutionary claim that the OPERA collaboration had measured neutrinos traveling faster than the speed has light is now in doubt, as…
One hundred and seventy years ago, astronomers thought that a series of explosions on the surface of ? Carinae were the beginning of a supernova,…
By injecting xenon gas into an optical cavity while using a high-power laser to generate infrared light pulses that bounce back and forth and overlap…
By using a laser to illuminate an object, physicists in the EPFL’s Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurement have shown that it is possible to…
After years of progress, scientists are now coming closer and closer to making real-world objects disappear from view. Researchers from the University of Texas at…
In order to search for better cures for neurological and psychiatric diseases, researchers have had to tackle the mammalian brain and its intricate complexity of…
Although Congress defunded the January 1st bill, the federal law still exists and the incandescent light bulb may soon be a thing of the past….
