Infrared sensors that detect the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region can clearly recognize objects not only during the day and ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

We've known for a while that modern cars are exposed to all kinds of security risks, mainly due to how they transmit data. Security researchers at IMDEA Networks have recently come across a new ...

We may earn commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we back. Why Trust Us? Research also shows that red light therapy can be an effective non-invasive treatment for hair ...

You might think traffic light systems are fairly basic. After all, electric traffic signals first appeared all the way back in 1914. However, they have advanced significantly since their inception, ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...

Julian is a contributor and former staff writer at CNET. He's covered a range of topics, such as tech, crypto travel, sports and commerce. His past work has appeared at print and online publications, ...

When automating your smart home, much of the attention centers on cameras and lights, but I believe HomeKit door sensors are arguably among the most critical devices to add to your setup. I’ve written ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to ...

Abstract: Microcantilevers, as a class of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, exhibit remarkable sensitivity and are widely applied in environmental, physical, and biological sensing. In ...
