Identifying sources of light plays an important role in the development of many photonic technologies, such as lidar, remote sensing, and microscopy. Traditionally, identifying light sources as ...

Sexual assault and domestic violence injuries, like bruises, can be challenging to spot on darker skinned victims under the standard white light found in most exam rooms. New research shows using ...

The use of alternative light sources and ultra violet lighting has changed and improved drastically over the last few years. The concept, however, remains the same as the purpose of alternative light ...

Synchrotron radiation facilities can deliver powerful continuum radiation from the microwave (specifically harmonics of the driving RF field) to the X-ray spectral regions. These are produced by high ...

Light pollution is the bane of stargazers, which is why you need to get out of the city to make the best use of your telescope. However, even in the middle of nowhere, your observations might still be ...

In materials science an X-ray source that is hard and bright can open the door to a wealth of detail. At Diamond Light Source X-ray beams with wavelengths of 0.1–0.2 nm outshine the Sun by a factor of ...
