Rice University's low-temp photocatalyst could slash the carbon footprint for syngas

Instead of the current definition based on comparisons to electrical heating, the NIST study suggests the optical watt could be determined from light's radiation force and its speed, a fundamental constant

Using dim, cooler lights in the evening and bright warmer lights in the day may be more beneficial to our health

The availability of three new alternative switchable LED configurations (blue, UVA-blue and blue-green-white) provides chemists with the unique ability to optimally undertake almost any photochemistry reaction

Researchers at EPFL's Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design have teamed up with teachers and students from Geneva School of Art and Design to develop a light sensor concept

New possibilities for indoor, sustainable, local production of hops

Quantum mechanics is embracing patterns of light to create an alphabet that can be leveraged to build a light-based quantum network

Researchers have now shown how to generate and characterize an entirely new type of light, synthetic chiral light, which identifies molecules' handedness exceptionally distinctly

Researchers report a new technique that uses image distillation to extract quantum information from an illuminated source that contains both quantum and classical information

Researchers open a new avenue to quantum computing with a breakthrough experiment: a large-scale quantum processor made entirely of light
