I’m a sucker for a good smart light. Even if smart home technology hasn’t quite revolutionized our lives in the ways we thought it would, the one thing I consistently rely on at home is the ability to ...

The new dynamic scenes arrived last week in version 4.4 of the Philips Hue app, and they work with all color-compatible Hue lights. To access the scenes, tap on a room or a zone that contains color ...

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a common technique to determine size and zeta potential of colloidal particles in a suspension. It is used to determine relevant properties of the catalyst inks used ...

It is not every day that scientists are able to produce an entirely new kind of light, but when they do the implications can be dramatic. When twisted light beams carrying orbital angular momentum ...

In recent years, there has been an increased focus on indoor lighting, especially in the context of the growing numbers of open-plan offices. In large parts of the world—and especially in Nordic ...

Gold nanoparticles, which are also referred to as colloidal gold, have distinctive properties that benefit numerous applications. Usually, they are synthesized by controlled decrease of aqueous HAuCl ...

Dynamic photoprogramming of paintable liquid crystal photonic devices with multi-stability shows practical application in smart soft materials and responsive optics. However, there exist three key ...

The unique behavior of nanoparticles is driven by their size, surface structure, and interaction dynamics, all of which must be measured and characterized with high precision. Nanoparticles interact, ...
