This all happens through wires and requires that the lights you want to connect to the switch are bound by long strands of copper in the walls. It doesn't have to be that way, though. And there's an ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.

Thermal management is essential for reducing future heating and cooling energy consumption. Notably, the near-infrared (NIR) ...

Normally, if you want to blast out samples to a DAC in a hurry, you’d rely on an FPGA, what with their penchant for doing things very quicky and in parallel. However, [Anabit] figured out a ...

Brainiac75] is a fan of fiber optic lamps, except for one thing—they’re often remarkably dim. Thus, they set out to hack the technology to deliver terrifying amounts of light while still ...

Sandia scientists demonstrate AI's role in directing LED light, potentially transforming technologies with energy-efficient ...
