Utah-based outdoor gear company Klymit got its start with gas-insulated inflatable clothing over a decade ago. It has since sold off that part of the business, but inflatable design remains a cornerstone of its lineup. The new Everglow Light Tube exten… Continue reading Inflatable light tube adds versatility to tent and RV camping
Despite ongoing advances in the field of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the devices have remained tethered to the surface via communications cables. Such is not the case with the ExRay, however, which uses light instead.

Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse intensity of over 1023 W per cm sq is the result of a… Continue reading Scientists generate the highest-intensity laser pulses ever recorded
Imagine if you were a product designer who wanted to see what an actual physical object would look like in different colors or patterns. Well, MIT has designed a system that allows users to easily do just that, utilizing photochromic dyes.Continue Read… Continue reading MIT tech allows a single object to be “tried out” in different colors
Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of individual photons to change their color.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Photonic device makes light any color by manipulating individual photons
Even diffuse objects like clouds or sugar cubes cast shadows, because they’re disordered media that scatter light waves. But now, researchers at TU Wien and Utrecht University have found a way to manipulate light waves to pass through, projecting an im… Continue reading Tailor-made light passes through opaque obstacles like they’re not there
Two years ago, astronomers revealed the first-ever direct images of a black hole. Now, the collaboration behind the historic image has released a new version that shows the polarization of the light around the object.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, Sc… Continue reading Polarized light reveals secrets of black hole’s magnetic field
When we think about the onward march of automotive technology, headlights aren’t usually the first thing that come to mind. Engines, fuel efficiency, and the switch to electric power are …read more Continue reading How Laser Headlights Work
One of [Sasa]’s life goals is to be able to sit back in his home and watch as robots perform all of his work for him. In order to work …read more Continue reading Your Plants Can Take Care of Themselves Now
Yale researchers have found evidence that a worm species can detect the color blue – even though it doesn’t have eyes, or any kind of visual system that it should, by all accounts, require. In tests, the team found that the color of harmful bacteria in… Continue reading Yale study suggests worms can “see” color even without eyes
