1. Preserving night vision The main reason for the red light function on your headlamp is that, compared to white light, it preserves your night vision. Basically, your eyes are less sensitive to ...

Optogenetics is a technique that has been in development for several years, and aims to combine optics and genetics to use light to control cell function. Researchers have now used optogenetics to ...

Scientists have published new research showing light-activated proteins can help normalize dysfunction within cells. The technique helps naturally balance mitochondria.

Researchers need only measure light intensity to get a clear picture of how well the mitochondria are functioning. When they function less well, their membrane lets in less chemical compounds.

Protein engineers and neurobiologists at UCSF have teamed up to create a biological light saber — an engineered protein that can slay specific cells simply by exposing them to light.

The Drive reviews the Mychanic Blade Multi-Function Light to see if it's up to our exacting standards.

A huge complaint by homeowners living near wind turbines concerns light flicker created by the rotating blades during daylight hours.

Scientists have long struggled with how to study the gut's vast nervous system—often called the body's "second brain"—without ...

Researchers have developed a new light technology that appears to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients in ...
