It turns out the idea that humans glow might not just be poetic. A new study from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada has captured physical evidence showing that ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

Visible light is a clean and abundant energy source for molecular motors,” says Lili Hou of Tianjin University, a ...

The researchers found they could capture individual photons in the visible band of light popping out of the mouse cells before and after death. The difference in the numbers of these photons was clear ...

Two independent research groups now report for the first time that visible light can break apart PFAS into benign by-products (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08179-1 and 10.1038/s41586-024-08327 ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

The Sun emits electromagnetic radiation across a broad spectrum, including visible, infrared, microwave, radio, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray wavelengths. Visible light, comprising wavelengths ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...
