Medicine & TechnologyHolograms have been used for a variety of applications - passports and licenses, credit cards, product packaging. Now, edible holograms could soon be used to decorate food items.
A new study suggests that people living in areas exposed to high levels of artificial lights at night may be facing higher risks of developing thyroid cancer later in life.
Physicists from the University of Basel in Switzerland and Ruhr University Bochum in Germany developed a novel source of single photons - capable of producing billions of tiny quantum particles each second.
Chaotic systems are systems that are sensitively dependent on initial conditions and, while appearing predictable at first, grows increasingly more random - and researchers have observed one such system using ultrafast cameras.
A team of scientists based in Poland reports a new femtosecond laser - with the latest light source potentially game-changing for various applications.
Plants have been known to perceive and respond to light in a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Now, a new study specifically notes how plants react to blue light.
Colloidal diamonds - stable, self-assembled material with promising applications in light-related technologies - can now be fabricated, decades after its concept was first developed in the 90s.
Novel nanopillars can precisely control color wavelengths to paint a picture. This new technology can be used in optical communication and making paper money that counterfeiters would find challenging to replicate.
Sometimes science fiction goes beyond the imagination that even the impossible is made possible just like traveling through space in the speed of light as the characters explore the vastness of the universe. But the laws of physics do not allow that to happen in real life. In the new video of NASA, they showed what it would be like if someone is to travel in the speed of light.
A recent discussion among experts reveals that differences in lighting specifications could further improve the design of a building, thereby, improving the wellbeing of the occupants of the building.
