It is no mystery that light is essential to human life. Since the discovery of fire, humans have developed various artificial light sources, such as incandescent lamps, gaslights, discharge lamps, and ...

The brainchild of French designer Arturo Erbsman, the Atmos lamp eloquently uses water condensation and evaporation to diffuse light into the room. Anthony Domanico CNET freelancer Anthony Domanico is ...

We’ve all encountered some ghastly DIY popsicle stick creation–usually at a yard sale or a thrift shop–and have thought, shaking our heads, “I can make that myself.” That’s far not the case with Stick ...

Researchers have just discovered a new type of light diffusion in tiny optical fibers 50 times thinner than a strand of hair. This phenomenon, which varies according to the fiber's environment, could ...

For the first time, a new technique that focuses diffuse light inside a dynamic scattering medium containing living tissue has been revealed by researchers. In addition, they have improved the speed ...

Light towers are a staple on every jobsite, and what they offer is pretty straightforward, but the technology behind these tools is not as simple as you might think. Today's models offer a range of ...

The otherworldly bluish glow of the Atmos LED Lampcomes from the water droplets condensing on its inner walls. French designer Arturo Erbsman wanted to create a light source which would use an ...

I TOOK advantage of a recent opportunity to make some observations on polarisation of the diffused light in sea-water, using a detector consisting of four quartz prisms made up on the De Senarmont ...

Lihong Wang, PhD, continues to build on his groundbreaking technology that allows light deep inside living tissue during imaging and therapy. In the Jan. 5 issue of Nature Communications, Wang, the ...
