Multi-photon lithography and optical tweezers are among the tools driving a new generation of 3D printing that will allow multifunctional devices to be fabricated in a single processing step, explain ...

Chirality is an essential property in biology; the molecular building blocks of some of the most important biological structures, including DNA and proteins, are chiral. When a molecule is said to be ...

Optical spectral transmission (OST) demonstrates a strong correlation with MRI in detecting joint inflammation in patients with inflammatory arthritis, with the best diagnostic performance observed in ...

The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...

Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...
