EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

If you happen to be in the market for a small artificial sun, you may be interested to know that for about $1300, you can get a tennis-ball-sized LED array that outputs 120,000 lumens.

During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...

Plant owners with a so-called green thumb often seem to have a more finely tuned sense of what their plants need than the ...

Abstract: A novel approach for the independent manipulation of the in- band scattering and radiation patterns of phased arrays with high radiation efficiency is proposed. The in- band scattering and ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called skyrmions. These light vortices hold their shape even when disturbed, making them ...

Abstract: The use of high-frequency input signals from room-temperature microwave sources makes it difficult to scale up the number of quantum bits in universal quantum computers. To address this ...
