The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

Scientists at the University of Groningen, led by Nobel laureate Ben Feringa and colleagues, have created a new porous material that captures and releases carbon dioxide using only visible light. The ...

Ruthenium-functionalized nanodiamonds generate powerful solvated electrons under visible light, bypassing the deep UV requirement that has limited diamond photocatalysis to laboratory settings.

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 ...

DS1, collapsed into a black hole without exploding, revealing how stars die in silent “failed supernova” events.

Sky lovers in areas where this phenomenon is visible will be able to enjoy this unique astronomical event, when the Moon appears to glow a bright red.

Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many ...

By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

The northern lights are predicted to dazzle across the northern U.S. on February 14 and 15, according to the National Oceanic ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely ...

Today's new moon gives way to next full moon of 2026 turning into a fiery red blood moon during a total lunar eclipse. Here's when and where to watch ...
