A startup called Antumbra run by 5 college students is looking to throw a little soothing light on this situation: People who hunker down in front of their computers until the wee hours, until it ...

The right lighting can make a world of difference, especially if you spend long hours in front of a computer. But there's more to choosing the best lights for your home office than you might think.

A simple computer that marries the mind-boggling computing power of quantum mechanics with the ease of manipulating light has been built by researchers at the University of Rochester. The device ...

Computers that use light instead of circuits to run calculations may sound like a plot point from a Star Trek episode, but researchers have been working on this novel approach to computing for years.

Question: My kids are older now, and I installed a computer in their playroom. I have a ceiling light, but I would like to add a recessed light. What is the best type to use, and how do I install it?

When it comes to computation, the modern approach seems to involve an enormous bucket of bits, vigorous shaking, and not a lot of explanation of how it all works. If you ever wondered how Excel became ...

An optical, in-computer breakthrough being explored by researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will let computers run cooler and faster. Light-carrying, miniature wires are ...
