[ted id=1813] Everyone has bad days they would rather forget. But what if it were possible to actually edit out our negative memories with a beam of light, and replace them with new information? Thanks to two neuroscientists at MIT, this might be a reality sooner, rather than later. The first challenge in altering a […]

How Lasers May Help Prevent Food Poisoning
Affecting millions of people annually, food poisoning by consumption of contaminated products is a significant health issue. Typically, retailers and manufacturers rely on “sell by” and “good until” dates, as a way to measure the safe shelf life of the things we eat. This is mostly due to the fact that monitoring the bacteria and […]

Arizona State Researchers Demonstrate White Lasers, Which Could Revolutionize Everyday Lighting
Researchers at Arizona State University have created white laser light with an array of semiconductor lasers in a compact arrangement. The project helps pave the way toward better lighting and light-based wireless communication, as white lasers are more luminous and energy efficient than LEDs. ASU researchers created a novel nanosheet — a thin layer of […]
