Can light behave like a whirlwind? It turns out it can—and such "optical tornadoes" have now been created in an extremely small structure by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of ...

For decades scientists have thought, based on experimental observations, that the lower a glassy material’s melting rate, the ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near ...

Modern neuroscience has transitioned from small-scale manual observations to a data-intensive field powered by computational innovation. Traditionally ...

Biology is mind-bogglingly complex. Even simple biological systems are made up of a huge number of components that interact with one another in complicated ways. Furthermore, systems vary in both ...
