Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing reliable quantum technologies.

A recent study has taken this one step further by shining a beam of light all the way through the bones and tissues of the head and out the other side.

Visible-light positioning (VLP) has been considered as a promising indoor positioning technology due to its high precision and low cost. However, current VLP techniques are greatly limited by the ...

The researchers also hope to study the effects of UV light on single-stranded RNA, which is thought to have evolved before DNA.

Shining intense infrared laser pulses on titanium generates higher-frequency light, revealing how its optical properties change in different directions due to variations in electron movement and ...

The effect occurs due to a phenomenon called reverse saturation of absorption in the ruby crystal, which allows the green laser to block the passage of blue light, resulting in a dark region that ...

Imagine shining two flashlight beams through each other — neither one blocks the other. However, some 3D computer models of laser systems depict the laser beam as a cylinder.

In this software, the beam of light was represented as a solid cylinder that cast a shadow, and the physicists found that pretty funny… until they found it interesting. "What started as a funny ...

Scientists have developed a new tool to help identify optimal photovoltaic (PV) materials capable of maximizing crop growth while generating solar power.

And you might need to prioritize where and how you place your lights for maximum effect. To clear up any confusion, I spoke ...

Residents in and around Houston report more sightings of strange beams of light shining in the night sky.

The Logitech Litra Beam LX is one light designed to not only light your face, but also provide RGB backlighting and bonus control options.
