Scientists trap light in an area 1,000 times thinner than a hair

Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Warsaw, working with teams from the Łódź University of Technology, the Warsaw University of Technology, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, have created a structure that can capture infrared light with a layer of only 40 nanometers. Their method is based on a design known … Read more

Neuroscience News logo for mobile.

Summary: Are you a morning owl or a night owl? The answer is written in your hair. Researchers have developed a powerful diagnostic test that determines the chronotype (internal biological clock) using just a few strands of hair. By analyzing the activity of 17 genes in the hair follicle, the team could map circadian rhythms … Read more
