A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of ...

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 ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

Repenic, the fast-growing smart home brand known for combining premium design with affordable pricing, today announced the launch of its latest Zigbee-enabled dimmer switch designed specifically for ...

Like many of us, [Tim]’s seen online videos of circuit sculptures containing illuminated LED filaments. Unlike most of us, however, he went a step further by using graph theory to design glowing ...

Red light therapy (RLT) uses short wavelengths of red light to treat certain conditions. Though it seems promising, more research is needed to confirm benefits. RLT is generally safe but may depend on ...
