Inspired by squid skin, scientists developed smart materials that shift color and infrared light - opening new paths for ...

Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots ...

Is it really possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk or bake cookies in your car during the summer in Texas? You can put it to ...

Scientists have discovered that something is making cosmic distance markers appear much farther away than they should be.

Over a year ago, a new camera stunned the world with its ability to snap 10 trillion frames per second. That speed made it possible to watch light move in slow motion. But for all its speed, the ...

That point is critical because the mass of an object, whether a speck of dust or a spaceship, limits the top speed it can travel through space. But because light is massless, it’s able to reach ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque.That makes them hard to ...

In both these cases, thanks to absorption, light does not make it through the object. However, light can make it through certain materials unchanged, which is known as transmission.
