Question: My kids are older now, and I installed a computer in their playroom. I have a ceiling light, but I would like to add a recessed light. What is the best type to use, and how do I install it?

Researchers have created a new compound crystal material that promises to help produce advances in a range of scientific and technological pursuits. The material, called erbium chloride silicate, can ...

Computing lighting that looks real remains complex and inefficient, as the necessary consideration of all possible paths light can take remains too costly to be performed for every pixel in real-time.

We’re getting closer to the point where we can process information on computer chips using light instead of electricity. A new study published in the journal Science explains how researchers at the ...

A Seattle-area startup called Pattern Computer is developing a rapid COVID-19 test based on patterns in light from spit, one of several projects moving ahead from the 7-year-old company that designed ...
