Using specialized nanoparticles embedded in plant leaves, MIT engineers have created a light-emitting plant that can be charged by an LED.

New measurements show that the light emitted by stars outside our galaxy is two to three times brighter than the light from known galaxies.

A new class of materials is capable of producing tunable plasmonic properties while withstanding incredibly high temperatures.

A highly efficient LED that is deadly to microbes and viruses but safe for people has been engineered by three RIKEN physicists.

The device uses light and a technique called optogenetics, which modifies cells that are sensitive to light to affect their behavior.

A unique 3D-printed light-sensing medical device could help millions of people worldwide with lupus and other light-sensitive diseases

Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand.

In the vicinity of black holes, space is so warped that even light rays may curve around them several times.

Physicists have invented a “quantum flute” that, like the Pied Piper, can coerce particles of light to move together in a new way.

Subjects exposed to any amount of light while sleeping at night were significantly more likely to be obese, and have high blood pressure.

Research uses multiple polarisation channels to carry out parallel processing – enhancing computing density by several orders of magnitude.

Waterlight is a lamp which generates light for 45 days using just half a liter of salt water so that people can continue with their chores.

In the vicinity of a black hole, space curves so much that light rays are deflected and may curve around them several times.

Researchers developed light-operated perovskite optoelectronic logic gate. Enabled all 5 basic logic operations with one optical-logic gate.

Many people who live in cities are taking to biking prompting designers and city officials to reimagine bike paths and public transport.

We finally have a demonstration of a quantum effect that was predicted years ago, which is capable of making invisible matter.

Lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and many other devices depend on the high mobility of ions in order to work properly.

Virtue Oboro’s Crib A’ glow invention aims to save infants with jaundice, a condition that affects millions of infants.

Researchers have developed a nanoplatform that non-invasively eliminates solid liver cancer tumors with a single five-minute dose.

Scientists use quantum entangled light for a new form of microscopy able to detect signals normally hidden by quantum noise.
