Best light experiments explained

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light ...
By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.
Chemical Reactions That Broke Reality: <a href=" ►25 Human Experiments Too Disturbing to Ignore: <a href=" Science ...
Your eyes may reveal when your brain is working overtime. Researchers found that people blink less when trying to understand ...
Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...
Since the time of the dinosaurs, cycad plants may have attracted insects using infrared light. It may be the world's oldest ...
Researchers found that cold is detected differently in the skin than in internal organs. This split system helps explain why cold air, cold drinks, and cold surfaces create very different sensations.
In laboratory experiments, the team used the device to send tiny, patterned bursts of light into the brains of genetically ...
Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing ...
