Scientists have shown that light pollution—especially light in the blue spectrum—can alter the behavior of fish after only a few nights, and have knock-on effects for their offspring. The team from ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

Re-engineering force-regulating proteins inside cells to control their behavior with specific wavelengths of light. Side view of a small group of optogenetically activated cells forming a furrow ...

(A). Light was absorbed by a leaf and reflected and transmitted from the leaf. The reflect light includes specular and diffuse portion, and this reflect light distribution can be modeled with BRDF (B) ...
