This next generation blue light could potentially promote or hinder sleep on command

Blue light from LED lamps and consumer electronics can mess with your sleep because it disrupts production of the natural sleep hormone melatonin. Tinted glasses or displays in night mode can mask, but don’t remove, a portion of the disruptive wavelengths. But now, researchers report that they have designed more ‘human-centric’ LEDs that could potentially …

Unexpected chemistry reveals cosmic star factories´ secrets

Two galaxies in the early universe, which contain extremely productive star factories, have been studied by a team of scientists. Using powerful telescopes to split the galaxies’ light into individual colors, the scientists were amazed to discover light from many different molecules — more than ever before at such distances. Studies like this could revolutionize …
