Individual retinal ganglion cells are singularly activated in the living primate retina via an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope.

For centuries, people have described strange blue balls of light floating around in marshes, wetlands, and even cemeteries.

When it comes to American cities trying innovative things in the transportation realm, there’s an unfortunate tradition of mainstream media and the usual skeptics going into full, “sky is falling!” ...

A flexible perovskite light-emitting device integrating ester polymer crystallization enables optical logic signals under bending and stretching, paving the way for motion capture and intelligent ...

Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, interacts in unexpected ways with a specially engineered photonic structure ...

TL;DR: Scientists have long been fascinated by the vibrant colors and intricate structures found in the feathers of birds like the Indian Peafowl (commonly known as the peacock). A new study has shed ...

Research on carbon emission reduction in China has focused on carbon market policies, technological innovation, and industrial institutional adjustment, but few studies have been concerned with the ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals that have garnered extensive attention from both academic and industrial community in recent years, owing to their excellent and widely ...

A pencil-shaped ultracold gas of frozen two-level atoms interacting via photon-mediated interactions, with elastic and inelastic components. A continuous laser drive excites the atoms on-resonance.

Scientists have been all aflutter since several space-based detectors picked up a powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) in October 2022—a burst so energetic that astronomers nicknamed it the BOAT (Brightest ...

Transitions between different electronic energy levels in elements occur at unique energies and intensities, giving each element a distinctive emission spectrum. When the energy of an incident photon ...
