Deep inside a nearby galaxy cloaked in thick clouds of gas and dust, astronomers have uncovered a surprising treasure trove of organic molecules using the James Webb Space Telescope. Peering through ...

The invention of tiny devices capable of precisely controlling the direction and behavior of light is essential to the ...

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 ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and ...

The team discovered the star by analyzing archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission. They used a prediction from the 1970s that theorized that when a star underwent direct collapse, it would leave ...

A new retina implant aims to use near-infrared light to restore vision signals. It works without cables and external ...
