Zoe Kleinmann and a student make a pattern of light with translucent cups. Zoe Kleinmann and a student explore patterns. First they create units of two connected plastic cubes to create an AB pattern.

Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain—bypassing the body's ...

A team of physicists and engineers at China's Hefei National Laboratory has succeeded in conducting the first instance of precise absolute distance measurement over a path exceeding 100 km. The group ...

This real-world study shows that recent and habitual light exposure are linked to lower subjective sleepiness and faster ...

Two-photon excitation with temporally focused pulses can be combined with phase-modulation approaches, such as computer-generated holography and generalized phase contrast, to efficiently distribute ...

A scattering-invariant mode of light is generated by a spatial light modulator. This modulated beam propagates through free space (top) or a strongly scattering medium (bottom) such that the pattern ...

If you want to thrive in the dark, gloomy ocean depths then it certainly doesn't hurt to have a few tricks up your sleeve. Scientists have discovered two new species of fish that can expand an ...

The common problems with bike lights seem miniscule until you’re riding down a moonless, unlit street and your light slowly goes from glowing white, to sad yellow, to nonexistent. Basically, you take ...
