| Popis: | Femto 15(2), (2015). Light shapes our perception of the world. We experience infrared radiation as heat and ultraviolet radiation sometimes as a painful sunburn. However, our senses perceive only a tiny segment of the light spectrum. Over the centuries, scientists have learned how to use almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum. State-of-the-art supermicroscopes exploiting short-wavelength X-ray light enable researchers to investigate the infinitesimal world of atoms and molecules, the basic building blocks of matter. Astronomers are gaining new insights into the universe by using light of various wavelengths, ranging from the cosmic background radiation in the microwave band to high-energy gamma radiation.
