The Sci-Tech Awards honor behind-the-scenes technologies that bring movies to life, from car flippers to safe burn gel for fire stunts. Join the 1000+ movie and science nerds who read "Science Goes To ...

Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, ...

If you feel like you've seen more of the northern lights painting the night sky lately, you'd be right—and there's an ...

A remarkable aspect of this technology is its ability to project entirely different images depending on both the wavelength (color) and spin (polarization direction) of light. For example, ...

The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on ...

The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated.

Quantum photonics catapults information processing and sensing beyond the limits of existing technologies by using quantum states of light (photons ... contributions awarded through the Collaborative ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. Naturally occurring and engineered flavin-binding, blue-light-sensing, light, oxygen, voltage (LOV) ...

CERN researchers achieved the feat by aiming beams of lead at each other, travelling at close to the speed of light. The ions occasionally glance past each other, rather than hit head on.

In some cases, certain types of clouds can even enhance UV radiation, this includes thin cirrus clouds which can scatter and reflect light back down to the surface. Ultraviolet radiation is ...

blue light gives 10 times the effect of melatonin suppression as red,” says Mario Motta, a retired cardiologist who previously served on the American Medical Association’s Council of Science ...
