An Urban Migraine: The Influence of Artificial Light at Night on Aquatic Primary Productivity [PDF]
, 2016 Artificial light at night (ALAN), or unnatural lighting produced by anthropogenic sources, has drastically altered the nighttime environment and is anticipated to increase as urban populations grow and electricity expands into previously unlit areas. The

Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
, 2018 Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

4D‐Printed Magneto‐Plasmonic Microrobots for Programmable Spatiotemporal De‐Icing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 4D‐printing strategy is introduced to achieve programmable de‐icing devices. By aligning gold–magnetite nanofillers within a photosensitive resin, the printed structures exhibit dual magnetic and plasmonic functionalities, enabling precise spatio‐temporal ice removal through thermoplasmonic effects.

Light at night and the risk of breast cancer: Findings from the Sister study
Environment International, 2022 Background: Light at night (LAN) may alter estrogen regulation through circadian disruption. High levels of outdoor LAN may increase breast cancer risk, but studies have largely not considered possible residual confounding from correlated environmental ...

Dark matters: effects of light at night on metabolism [PDF]
Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 2018 Life on earth has evolved during the past several billion years under relatively bright days and dark night conditions. The wide-spread adoption of electric lights during the past century exposed animals, both human and non-human, to significant light at night for the first time in their evolutionary history. Endogenous circadian clocks depend on light

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

Impact of Solid State Roadway Lighting on Melatonin in Humans
Clocks & Sleep, 2022 Introduction: In 2009, the World Health Organization identified vehicle crashes, both injury-related and fatal, as a public health hazard. Roadway lighting has long been used to reduce crashes and improve the safety of all road users.
