New way to make light interact with matter
A new way of enhancing the interactions between light and matter, developed by researchers at MIT and Israel’s Technion, could someday lead to more efficient solar cells that collect a wider range of light wavelengths, and new kinds of lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that could have fully tunable color emissions. Continue reading “New way to make light interact with matter”
Earth could have supported continental crust, life earlier than thought
The early Earth might have been habitable much earlier than thought, according to new research from a group led by University of Chicago scientists. Continue reading “Earth could have supported continental crust, life earlier than thought”
How the brain performs flexible computations
Humans can perform a vast array of mental operations and adjust their behavioral responses based on external instructions and internal beliefs. For example, to tap your feet to a musical beat, your brain has to process the incoming sound and also use your internal knowledge of how the song goes. Continue reading “How the brain performs flexible computations”
