Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, which could help advance biomedical imaging and material design. Their work, ...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical sensing technique that measures blood volume changes and underpins devices ranging from hospital-grade pulse oximeters to consumer wearables that track heart ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Red blood cells are essential for oxygen transport and immune function in the human body. When these cells become abnormally shaped, they can indicate serious health conditions, including diabetes, ...

Researchers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have developed a technique that substantially improves the ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s ...

Dermatologists explain the science behind wildly popular treatments like red light therapy, which is now available at home—for a steep price. Full-face LED masks like this one can cost up to several ...

“Look out for interesting experiments by lesser-known journalistic ventures and civil society groups that share professional journalism’s interest in bridging us-them divides.” More than half the ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

What's up Mercer Island! Let's start this morning right by getting caught up on what's going on around town. Keep reading to stay in the loop. ☕️️ Coming up on the calendar: ... and check out 5 more ...
