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 ...

Researchers from the Advanced Science Research Center at CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have made a breakthrough in the design of nonlinear metasurfaces. Described in eLight, the team's device is a ...

Experience Lost Light in a whole new way by switching from mobile controls to a full controller setup. Here’s how it feels, how it plays, and whether it actually gives you an edge in combat and ...

The second beta of macOS 26.2 introduces a new Edge Light feature that's designed for video calls on FaceTime and other video calling platforms. It adds a light border around the edges of your Mac's ...

Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. Cancer treatment has come a long way, but many of today’s therapies still come with steep costs: not just financial, ...

While AI generators are far from the largest contributor to climate change, their carbon footprint is steadily growing as more people use these platforms. Designed by scientists at the University of ...

This chapter looks at Americans’ exposure to artificial intelligence and views on its use in their lives. How much have Americans heard about AI and how often do they think they interact with it? How ...

A new study has successfully demonstrated the confinement of terahertz (THz) light to nanoscale dimensions using a new type of layered material. This could lead to improvements in optoelectronic ...

Putting a weapon light on a firearm provides an instant boost to its utility. It allows you to operate better in the dark and in low-light conditions, which is when bad things tend to happen. Whether ...

Unlike typical opsins, the anthozoan-specific opsin II group (ASO-II opsins) in reef-building corals use chloride ions (Cl⁻) instead of amino acids as counterions. Corals may lack eyes, but they are ...

As of 2025, Montana is the only state without a texting-while-driving ban. North Carolina prohibits manually entering text and reading messages while driving, except for caller ID. Even at a red light ...
