Physicists have created a one-dimensional gas out of light. This has enabled them to test theoretical predictions about the transition into this exotic state of matter for the first time. The method ...

A group of researchers have made a shocking discovery about one of the most fundamental forces in our universe. According to a new paper, which is set to publish in Physics of the Dark Universe next ...

The idea of light as art is not new. There was Dan Flavin who used fluorescent lighting and there is James Turrell who uses natural light. Plus, there is plenty of neon art, but the idea of using LEDs ...

You may be familiar with yeast as the organism content to turn carbs into products like bread and beer when left to ferment in the dark. In these cases, exposure to light can hinder or even spoil the ...

With careful planning, modern home designs are within reach. One common approach is to use light and dark color combinations throughout your home, from paint colors to light and dark wood choices ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking chemical process that could streamline the development of pharmaceutical compounds, chemical building blocks that influence how drugs interact with the body.

What just happened? Physicists have managed to turn light particles into what they describe as an "exotic state of matter" – a one-dimensional gas. They did this by confining the photons in a tiny ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...
