Researchers have developed a compact, low-cost convolutional spectrometer that delivers lab-grade precision for applications ...

When light reflects off a surface, not all of it reflects off at the same wavelength; some photons impart a portion of their ...

Something on Pluto and one of Saturn’s moons, Titan, absorbs light in a way unexplained by anything in spectroscopic ...

Once it was clear that the finding was most likely real, the team took a closer look at the chemistry of the material nearest ...

How does a stripy tree snail hide from hungry birds? The Hypselostyla camelopardalis from the Philippines and Reinia variegata from Japan have both evolved a form of dynamic camouflage to survive.

Since the 1980s, researchers have sought to use laser light to control chemical reactions relevant to photochemistry, catalysis and light-responsive materials. But this technique, known as coherent ...
