A research team led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, demonstrated a new type of light-emitting ...

Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, ...

Lighthouses have guided mariners safely home for centuries, with the first lighthouse reportedly constructed in ancient Egypt (although it was later destroyed). Although GPS is now in everything from ...

You’ve probably been told a thousand times to banish blue light from your bedroom. Toss out those LED bulbs. Enable night mode on every device. Buy those amber glasses that make you look like a 1970s ...

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Idaho drivers may be familiar with the flashing red and blue lights. But, the familiar pattern will soon be a thing of the past as Idaho State Troopers are changing the ...

Artificial light has disrupted people’s sleep and circadian rhythms. KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge says it’s also affecting the sleep and behavior of other living things that share our urban ...

The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously. Silicon nanofins are arranged in the Penrose tiling pattern as illustrated by the 2D color ...

In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high-throughput ...

Zoe Kleinmann and a student make a pattern of light with translucent cups. Zoe Kleinmann and a student explore patterns. First they create units of two connected plastic cubes to create an AB pattern.
