The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

How can we measure visible light? The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms of light energy, known as electromagnetic radiation. (1) Different types of electromagnetic radiation such as radio ...

Light is one of the primary things that allows humans to function effectively and efficiently. Indeed, without it, we are basically hopeless; however, a lot of it is…well, missing. Perhaps a better ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely ...

Scientists at the University of Groningen, led by Nobel laureate Ben Feringa and colleagues, have created a new porous material that captures and releases carbon dioxide using only visible light. The ...

With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...

Integrated laser platform: A single chip generates narrow linewidth and tuneable visible light covering all colours. (Courtesy: Myles Marshall/Columbia Engineering) Researchers in the US have created ...
