Astronomers have watched a supermassive black hole take two bites of a star, and predicted when it might go back for a third. If it does, this should make for an intriguing stellar light show.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Astronomy, Bla… Continue reading Stellar light show predicted for next year as black hole swallows star
[The Thought Emporium] has been fascinated by holograms for a long time, and in all sorts of different ways. His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating …read more Continue reading Creating Customized Diffraction Lenses For Lasers
For babies born with a certain heart defect, implantation of a “shunt” is essential to their survival. A new type of shunt can be expanded using light, potentially eliminating the need for more heart surgeries that are currently needed to swap in large… Continue reading Light-activated implant could spare babies from multiple heart surgeries
If you’re on the Moon and your phone is about to die, there aren’t many places to plug in the charger. But Honeybee Robotics has outlined a plan to build a kind of power grid up there, with a network of Statue of Liberty-sized towers containing solar p… Continue reading LUNARSABER: Statue of Liberty-sized streetlights form Moon power grid

It’s ironic that in places where drinking water needs to be checked for microbes the most, labs that can perform the analysis are least likely to be present. A new “lensless” device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganism… Continue reading Optical device forgoes lenses for better detection of tainted water
A new kind of 3D display could take the form of an acrylic cube with an image inside, which can be erased and rewritten to easily. The new technique can be used to make 2D, 3D and even animated images.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Image, Im… Continue reading Erasable handheld display cube shows 2D, 3D and even animated images
In a massive study of 85,000 people, scientists at Flinders University have found that night-time exposure to light increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of daytime activities.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Flin… Continue reading Late-night light raises your type 2 diabetes risk by up to 67%
