According to scientists, a real-world 'warp drive' could allow spaceships to jump between galaxies just like in Star Wars.

The NSO described the sun as "a plasma laboratory right on our doorstep" and said that the VTF's image gives promise that with time, the telescope will help scientists better predict when powerful ...

There is no wavelength of visible light that naturally stimulates only these m cells in human eyes. So, every time you see green, you’re seeing it mixed with a little bit of something else ...

Tom is a writer in London with a Master's degree in Journalism whose editorial work covers anything from health and the environment to technology and archaeology. Laura is an editor and staff ...

It enables X-ray light with photon energies of more than 15 kiloelectronvolts to ...

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into radiation of different wavelengths. At the center is the visible spectrum — the light that animals like us can perceive — including wavelengths ...

which detect greens and yellows), and one for long wavelengths (L cones, which detect reds and oranges). Each of these responds to different parts of the visible spectrum. When light enters our eyes, ...

It uses cutting-edge technology that combines multiple wavelengths in a single transmission. This technique, commonly used in fiber optics, has now for the first time been successfully applied at this ...

In fact, violet (along with the rest of the colors in a naturally occurring rainbow) has something purple doesn’t—its own wavelength of light. Anyone who ever ended up with a sunburn knows ...

the amplifier can potentially be adapted for use at other wavelengths. By modifying the waveguide design, it is possible to amplify signals in other ranges, such as visible light (400–700 ...
