Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid ...

and degradable materials, their integration into 3D printing processes poses challenges. The primary issue lies in the spectral overlap between the absorption bands of most chromophores (typically in ...

Thanks to the simplicity of their design and function, light switches seem to last pretty much forever despite daily use. Indeed, most of us rarely give a second thought to these humble ...

It's spring and you've probably noticed a change in when the Sun rises and sets. But have you also noticed a change in your mood? We've known for a while that light plays a role in our wellbeing. Many ...

This is the next article in our ‘Light and health’ series, where we look at how light affects our physical and mental health in sometimes surprising ways. Read other articles in the series.

In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Chiba University have prepared a diacetylene derivative-based metallic luster material that changes from silver to gold under UV irradiation. These ...
