Microbial rhodopsins are distributed through many microorganisms. Heliorhodopsins are newly discovered but have an unclear function. They have seven transmembrane helices similar to type-I and type-II ...

a) Illustration of the omnidirectional wavelength-tunable color device featuring a mechanochromic chiral liquid crystal elastomer (CLCE) and an electrically deformable dielectric elastomer actuator ...

In the rapidly evolving field of photonics, an advancement has emerged from Korea, redefining the possibilities of structural color manipulation. Scientists have developed a pioneering technology ...

While nanocrystals offer color tunability and are used in various technologies, achieving different colors requires using different nanocrystals for each color, and dynamic switching between colors ...

Initially stacked benzene layers increase fluorescent color change drastically when exposed to pressure, suggesting new ways to design the pressure sensors used in machinery and medical devices.

A new technique?the result of an international collaboration of scientists from Lehigh University, West Chester University, Osaka University and the University of Amsterdam?could pave the way for ...

Color vision begins with the transduction of light into neural signals by the three classes of cone photoreceptors and ends with the processing of these signals in the cerebral cortex. Historically, ...

Light sources have historically been purchased with a specific color temperature — think “soft white” versus “cool white” fluorescent tube lighting. However, the industry-wide shift to LED lighting ...

New research demonstrates the possibility of tuning the color of a GaN LED by changing the time sequence at which the operation current is provided to the device. A new technique -- the result of an ...
