A look at the contributions of some of the prominent researchers who died this year

Charles Townes, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, has passed away at age 99.

See the experiment that used lasers and optogenetics to alter sexual behavior in Drosophila.

Three-dimensional scaffolds for growing and guiding neurons are getting smaller and more tailored in design.

Cells that produce laser light may one day zap cancer cells.

Researchers have developed a new kind of laser that mimics some of the world's most beautiful birds, copying the nanoscale structure of their brightly colored feathers to capture light.
