10-11-04 Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory have fabricated(制造,组装) transparent thin films capable of absorbing light and generating electric charge over a relatively large ar...
10-10-06 Physicists and neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) from the University of Pennsylvania have linked the cell structure of the retina(视网膜) to the light and dark contrasts of the natural world, demonstrating the likelihood that the neural pathways h...
10-09-18 在伦敦市金融区有一家名为在黑暗中?的餐厅,所有服务员均为盲人,能够容纳60人的就餐区域一片漆黑,伸手不见五指,客人进入就餐前需将手机、手表等可能光源寄存在前台。 Dans le Noir?, close to London\s City financial district, is staffed by blind waiters and...
10-09-02 A game-changing technique using near infrared light enables scientists to look deeper into the guts(内脏,胆子) of cells, potentially opening up a new frontier in the fights against cancer and many other diseases. University of Central Florida che...
10-09-02 Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created quantum cats made of photons(光子) (particles of light), boosting prospects for manipulating light in new ways to enhance precision measurements(精密测量) as w...
10-08-27 A new study of the genetic basis of circadian rhythms(生物周期节律) the biological responses related to daily light exposure has found that a few minutes of light exposure in a fungus(真菌,菌类) directly affects a huge range of its biological f...
10-08-19 NIST will use the new ultra-dark detector, described in a new paper in Nano Letters, to make precision laser power measurements for advanced technologies such as optical communications, laser-based manufacturing, solar energy conversion(能量转换)...
10-08-13 Astronomers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected gamma-rays from a nova(新星) for the first time, a finding that stunned(震惊) observers and theorists alike. The discovery overturns the notion that novae explosions lack the...
10-08-04 Scientists hoping to understand how cells work may get a boost from a new technique to tag and image proteins within living mammalian(哺乳类) cells. The new technique, developed by a research team led by University of Illinois at Chicago assistant...
10-06-25 For a plant, light is life. It drives everything from photosynthesis(光合作用) to growth and reproduction. Yet the chain of molecular events that enables light signals to control gene activity and ultimately a plant's architecture(建筑学) had re...
