The human eye is an amazing organ, but it only enables us to see a small fraction of the physical world.

With the aid of light and special instruments, however, it is possible to see and study a world that would otherwise be invisible. Adam Cohen and Dimitar Sasselov will discuss the role of light in expanding our ability to “see” and describe new advances in light-based technologies.
