Researchers develop a highly efficient method to provide coherent light of any wavelength from visible to mid-infrared with a single tiny device. (Nanowerk News) Focused laser-like light that covers a ...

Quantum materials just made light do the "impossible", unlocking hidden terahertz waves that could transform future technology.

The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not only increases the amount of light entering the ocean, but also changes its color. These changes have far-reaching consequences ...

Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary journey of a unique type of photosynthesis that allows some bacteria to harness far-red light, a region beyond the visible spectrum. This discovery could ...

The experimental setup shown here incorporates on-chip optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology to generate a frequency comb of laser-like light covering a wide range of frequencies with very ...

The bottom of a cut-out block of 2 m thick ice covered with ice algae, placed atop the sea ice of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The disappearance of sea ice in polar regions due to global warming not ...
