In this episode: an all-light network that scales environmental barriers, better blood sugar control via red light, and discovery of the surface signature of higher-order topological insulators.

In this episode of Photonics Hot List...

A completely light-based integrated network, developed by researchers in China, maintains seamless connectivity across a variety of environments, which could greatly enhance wireless communications and data transmission.

Controlling blood sugar may become a lot simpler, thanks to work by a team in London that uses deep red light to lower the body’s metabolic rate in mitochondria.

An international team of physicists, in a search for the optical and electronic properties of an elusive class of materials, has discovered a novel way to identify the surface signature of higher-order topological insulators.
