An unorthodox treatment called near-infrared light therapy, which shines powerful near-infrared light at the brain through ...

To investigate how melanin affects the accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements, researchers correlated the melanin levels of 35 adults with a diverse range of skin tones, measured ...

Have you been shopping for wellness gear and realized you might be comparing apples to oranges? Red light therapy and ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Masahito Murai of the Graduate School of Science and Professor Shigehiro Yamaguchi of the Functional Organic Materials Laboratory has successfully developed ...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive method used to monitor changes in hemoglobin concentration and oxygen levels in the body. This technique involves passing near-infrared light, ...

A new technical paper titled “Towards fibre-like loss for photonic integration from violet to near-infrared” was published by researchers at Caltech, UCSB, Leiden University and University of ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

Sunlight contains an electromagnetic spectrum (special waves such as the kind in x-rays that travel through emptiness or a vacuum) of light that stretches from very short gamma rays to very long radio ...
