How light can vaporize water without the need for heat
Researchers at MIT in the United States have discovered that light, not just heat, can cause water to evaporate, revealing new insights into light-water interactions.
Red light can reduce blood glucose levels, says study
A recent study published in the Journal of Biophotonics reveals that exposure to 670 nm red light can stimulate mitochondrial energy production, leading to significant reductions in blood glucose levels, offering potential non-invasive benefits for diabetes management and raising concerns about the health impacts of blue light from LEDs.
Light colour is less important for the internal clock than originally thought
From University of Basel 01/01/24 Vision is a complex process. The visual perception of the environment is created by a combination of different wavelengths of light, which are decoded as colours and brightness in the brain. Photoreceptors in the retina first convert the light into electrical impulses: with sufficient light, the cones enable sharp, detailed, […]
