EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and gravitational lensing.

Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to ...

Specific rhythms of flickering light can synchronise brain activity, offering clues about perception and possible future ...

During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called skyrmions. These light vortices hold their shape even when disturbed, making them ...

Have you ever wondered what the invisible world of radio waves might look like if you could actually see it? Rootkid explains how his project, the Spectrum Slit, transforms the unseen chaos of ...

Tracking people’s light exposure in everyday life reveals that brighter, more stable daily light is linked to feeling less sleepy and responding faster on key cognitive tasks, highlighting light as a ...

A flexible optical identifier uses polarized emission from self-assembled crystal films to create two stable states that support tri modal authentication and improve reliability in secure device ...

Fig. 1 Contents of this review. When AI and structured light meet, the intersection facilitates the generation of new forms of light, the unravelling of structured light, and the application of ...

A hurdle was crossed in the effort to add lights to Riverside Park in Oakmont. Tony Lascola, chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee, made an official proposal to council to add lights to the ...
