Power, Price and Portability
Power is not everything. If it costs too much, too few may wield it. And if it restricts freedom, it will only be tolerated for so long. This is especially true in the years-old competition between lasers and LEDs. These photonics technologies have vied to be light sources in many applications, and brain research is emerging to be a major battleground for them. Over the years, LEDs have relied on...

Ants Give Roofs Good Optics
With winter around the corner, many homeowners are rushing to have a new roof installed before the snow starts falling. Some people may gripe about the cost, others may question whether they should have gone with the higher-end materials, but it would be hard to find any who wished their roofs could benefit from ants. Nanfang Yu, an assistant professor of applied physics at Columbia...
