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 ...
An international research team demonstrates how to generate extremely short pulses of visible light using an industrial-grade laser system. Visible light is extremely important in nature. Seen by the ...
In between its main mission, the Parker Solar Probe just made a novel contribution to Venusian science. New images from the sun-focused mission, captured during a close flyby of Venus, show the planet ...
Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with γ-In2S3, a ...
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 ...
In a recent paper posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers showed that 425 nm blue light can inactivate all major severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) variants. They ...
On a flyby of Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the first visible light images of the cloudy planet’s surface from space, a new study reports. The nightside view of the extremely hot surface ...
