A new study suggests dark matter might subtly tint passing light with red or blue hues due to indirect interactions, potentially detectable with next-generation ultra-sensitive telescopes, offering a novel way to study this elusive component of the universe.
Scientists at Stanford used the food dye tartrazine, found in Doritos, to temporarily make mouse skin transparent by altering how water bends light, enabling clearer imaging of internal structures in live animals without invasive procedures, which could revolutionize biological research and medical imaging.
Researchers at the Humboldt University of Berlin have gained new insights into the scattering of light by a fluorescent atom, discovering that when a certain color component is removed from the light using a filter, the single photon stream transforms into pairs of photons that are detected simultaneously. This effect, predicted 40 years ago, demonstrates the ability of a single atom to scatter two photons at the same time and has implications for quantum communication, as the generated photon pairs are quantum mechanically entangled and can be used for teleporting quantum states.
