Researchers have developed a novel material using tiny organic crystals that convert light into a substantial mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its own mass. Without the need for heat or ...

The latest research in ACS Applied Energy Materials has shown that vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays are capable of massively increasing light absorption and causing a significant ...

Light waves have a similar role in lidar to that of radio waves in radar: a lidar sensor sends out and receives information encoded in light pulses, and the system uses this information to make a map ...

Optogenetics, the technique in which light is used to either stimulate neurons to fire or prevent them from doing so, has had a dramatic impact in studies of the brain and behavior, but delivering ...
