Light has an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine – it can be used to stimulate cell growth, manipulate neural signals, and treat some cancers – but it doesn’t easily pass through ...

In the depths of the ocean, along forest floors, and scattered across various ecosystems, extraordinary creatures possess a remarkable ability—they can create their own light. This biological light ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The ...

There’s something special about walking into a neighborhood café where the barista knows your name and local art fills the walls. That’s not just good business; it’s good community-building. As cities ...

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

Researchers at JQI have designed and tested new chips that reliably convert one color of light (represented by the orange pulse in the lower left corner of the image above) into many colors ...
