Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Physicists from Trinity College Dublin believe new insights into the behavior of light may offer a new means of solving one ...

We modelled the behavior of devices which trap light in a small region of space and found that this behavior is related to ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining visible light and electrochemistry, researchers have enhanced the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable products and stumbled upon a surprising discovery. The team ...

Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells' energy centers -- literally -- to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study, scientists combined strategies ...

The speed of light is the fastest anything can travel. What happens to a photon from a galaxy 25 million light years away on its journey toward Earth? When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...
