The planet is one of the best worlds for follow-up studies to determine whether it could be habitable or not.

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

Auroras, shimmering bands of light that shoot through the night sky near the Earth’s poles, can follow patterns known as arcs ...

It may be marketed as a projector, but the Jiawen Galaxy Projector Light is more of an ambient night-light than anything else. It’s great at what it does and looks very stylish, but don’t buy this ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

Light therapy lamps mimic natural light to help boost mood, focus and sleep quality—and ease symptoms of SAD. Our editors ...

A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on ...

Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as ...
