You're afraid you'll never live up to your grand ambitions, right? Here's how to get past your fears. “Entrepreneur” is a magical word , but for many aspiring business owners it can also be an intimidating word

Goodbye cute cat videos, hello cash cow. If browsing YouTube for funny videos is part of your Friday (or Monday, or Tuesday, or ...

Conventional wisdom would say that blocking a hole would prevent light from going through it, but Princeton University engineers have discovered the opposite to be true. A research team has found that placing a metal cap over a small hole in a metal film does not stop the light at all, but rather enhances its transmission.

When you are in a conversation, do you listen with your own autobiographical filter?

By peering into the distance with the biggest and best telescopes in the world, astronomers have managed to glimpse exploding stars, galaxies and other glowing cosmic beacons as they appeared just hundreds of millions of years after the big bang.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Cornell researchers have demonstrated that the passage of a light beam through an optical fiber can be controlled by just a few photons of another light beam.

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, only the fittest survive. Here's how it works in the business world. Charles Darwin would have built a killer company.

Misshapen red blood cells (RBCs) are a sign of serious illnesses, such as malaria and sickle cell anemia. Until recently, the only way to assess whether a person's RBCs were the correct shape was to look at them individually under a microscope – a time-consuming process for pathologists

(PhysOrg.com) -- Double-core-hole (DCH) states – in which two electrons are ejected from their positions, creating vacancies – occurring at different atomic sites are very sensitive to the chemical environment of the two holes.

Laser frequency combs -- extraordinarily precise tools for measuring frequencies (or colors) of light -- have helped propel advances in timekeeping, trace gas detection and related physics research to new heights in the past decade.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Taking light control to a new level, scientists have proposed a technique for confining light into an area just 1/500th the size of the light's wavelength. Since funneling light through such tiny spaces enhances the optical fields and increases the light's transmission, it could lead to a variety of new optical applications.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Light has its limitations – in this case not velocity, but rather its diffraction limit, which determines the spatial interaction volume in all implementations of optical spectroscopy and is in general also valid for time-resolved studies.

These four outstanding offices use color to tell a story, incorporate mirrors for optical illusions, and house a tattoo parlor and a shooting range. No one likes to work in a noisy office

Through a meticulous restoration process, Elding Oscarson converted two 19th Century buildings into No Picnic's headquarters by installing reflecting glass walls.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Diamonds can add more than sparkle and style to X-ray experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source.
