Until now, scientists have relied on fluorescence microscopy techniques to study intracellular cargo transport, a vital process to maintaining essential cellular functions. However, the effects of...

Researchers at the University of Rochester and University of Copenhagen’s Center for Translational Neuromedicine developed a bioluminescence imaging technique that tracks the movement of oxygen...

Optical tools can be used to activate biological functions, but with current methods the effects are slow to appear, and sustained effects require continuous light activation. As a result, these...

Multidrug-resistant bacteria are considered a serious threat to infection control. Faced with the increasing difficulty of developing new antibiotics to combat resilient bacterial strains, scientists...

A majority of noncommunicable diseases — including almost all types of cancer — are treated with some sort of surgery. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4.8 billion people...

Femtosecond lasers are a powerful tool for high-precision materials processing and functionalization. Laser processing led to a range of technologies developed in Guo's lab, including the so-called...

Advancements in camera technology have pushed the quest for knowledge into live imaging of cellular processes and even into the workings of the human brain, with new applications in neuroscience....

Chalcogenide glasses offer an opportunity to expand the possibilities available to infrared optical designers by providing the ability to create IR optical materials with specifically designed...

Frugal science and the Foldscope microscope are among the topics we discuss with Manu Prakash, in part 1 of our multiweek conversation with the Unilever Colworth Prize recipient and MacArthur Fellow,...

-Light Controlled Gel -Public Moon Telescope -Graphene Photosensor This week on Light Matters: a light-controlled get could help robots go soft, the first privately owned telescope readies for space,...

-Galileoscope -Space Laser Test -Laser Tumor Test This Week on Light Matters: NASA’s mission to test space lasers lifts off, a laser-based tool can tell normal tissue from tumors, and we learn more...

Say you go to a party and someone else has on the same outfit. Sooner than you think, you might be able to change without having to change. Try liquid crystal fabric on for size, this week on Light...
