Breakthrough Imaging Technique Sheds Light on Nanoscale Photocatalysis

Credit: DICPPhotocatalysis—the process by which light drives chemical reactions—has long been hailed as a promising route toward clean energy and environmental remediation. Yet, the fine details of how these reactions unfold at the microscopic level, particularly at the interface between a solid catalyst and a liquid electrolyte, have remained elusive—until now.In a groundbreaking study...

Could Light Therapy Help Alleviate Alzheimer’s Symptoms?

Light therapy shows promise in improving sleep and mood for Alzheimer’s patients, with minimal side effects, but larger studies are needed for confirmation. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA new study published in PLOS ONE suggests that light therapy may significantly improve sleep quality, strengthen circadian rhythms, and reduce caregiver burden in Alzheimer’s patients.Alzheimer’s not only impairs memory...

Physicists Discover a Groundbreaking Method to Entangle Light and Sound

(Alasabyss/Creatas Video+/Getty Images Plus)Quantum entanglement, a cornerstone of modern physics, involves correlating two or more unmeasured particles so that their properties intertwine and mirror each other. When one particle is measured, its counterpart’s corresponding properties instantly solidify, even when the two are separated by vast distances.In a groundbreaking development, physicists have introduced a bold...
