Physicists have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to-achieve wavelength range, packing the performance of larger photonic devices ...

Now, research published in ACS Central Science reveals a method that uses pulsed infrared light to identify molecular profiles in blood plasma that could indicate the presence of certain common ...

That innovation, which used electric bulbs as light therapy to apply heat to the body, laid the groundwork for the modern infrared sauna. The purported benefits of an infrared sauna offer plenty ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of ...

The humble yet ubiquitous infrared remote-control receiver can benefit from an enhanced front-end preamplifier.

A biohybrid system combines polymer nanosheets with E. coli to improve hydrogen production by capturing near-infrared light from the solar spectrum. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The search for viable solar ...

At its core, red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation—essentially, a process where light wavelengths penetrate the skin to stimulate cellular activity. “Red light therapy is a non ...

He's a cofounder of Light Phone. The bus in this analogy is a smartphone, and all the seats are apps. As the driver, you're trying to focus on the road, but all of the notifications from your ...

A mysterious spiraling blue light illuminated the night skies over Europe on Monday. The cosmic whirlpool was captured in stunning video and appears to have been created by the SpaceX Falcon 9 ...
