Photoinactivation of Escherichia coli using five photosensitizers and the same number of photons
Bacterial resistance is today a matter of great medical concern, so it is urgent to investigate alternatives to alleviate it. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a method that has been endorsed to inactivate different pathogens, including bacteria, fungi ...

Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing inspiration from the discovery of the quantum Hall effects and topological insulators in condensed matter, recent advances have shown how to engineer analogous effects also for ...

Photon-photon and photon-hadron processes in Pythia 8 [PDF]
We present a new implementation of photoproduction processes in e+e- and ep collisions into Pythia 8 Monte-Carlo event-generator. In particular we discuss how the parton showers and multiparton interactions are generated with a resolved photon beam and what is the relative contribution from direct processes in different kinematical regions.

Twisted photons: new quantum perspectives in high dimensions [PDF]
Twisted photons can be used as alphabets to encode information beyond one bit per single photon. This ability offers great potential for quantum information tasks, as well as for the investigation of fundamental questions. In this review article, we give

Photon–photon scattering: a tutorial [PDF]
Long-established results for low-energy photon–photon scattering, γγ → γγ, have recently been questioned. We analyze that claim and demonstrate that it is inconsistent with experience. We demonstrate that the mistake originates from an erroneous manipulation of divergent integrals and discuss the connection with another recent claim about the Higgs ...

Far-red photons (701-750 nm) are abundant in sunlight but are considered inactive for photosynthesis and are thus excluded from the definition of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; 400 to 700 nm).
