Researchers generated stable vortex light in its lowest-energy state using liquid crystal traps and optical confinement.

The CSIRO, RMIT and the University of Melbourne have successfully built a quantum battery prototype from theory into practice ...

We look at the benefits and potential issues with plug-in solar, including how it works and the regulatory changes needed.

Spaceborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become a powerful tool for observing forest height, biomass, carbon stocks ...

The big picture: When retro tech obsessive Shelby Jueden pointed a low-cost digital microscope at a decades-old LaserDisc, he didn't just see reflections of light – he uncovered the physical trace of ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light utilization efficiency, outperforming all previous transparent photovoltaic ...

Writing thousands of years ago, Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu said that the essence of wisdom was knowing from where you came, your origins, in other words. If you don’t know the source, he taught, “you ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University of Iowa researchers found that unwanted photons produced by lasers can be ...

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated a nanoscale optical device that entangles the spin of photons and electrons at room temperature, overcoming a major practical limitation in quantum ...

Xiaomi has officially launched the Mijia Diffuse Reflection Ceiling Light in China, priced at 1899 yuan ($268). This is currently the most expensive ceiling light in Xiaomi’s Mijia lineup and ...
