The International Year of Light, designated by UNESCO for 2015, emphasizes the significance of light science and its applications. Taylor & Francis has curated a free online collection of articles covering various themes, including contemporary physics, art and culture, photonics, solar power, and technology. This initiative is reminiscent of previous international years dedicated to physics and astronomy. Additional resources, including highly cited papers, are also available through Taylor & Francis. The discussion underscores the importance of accessing both the article collection and the official International Year of Light webpage for comprehensive information.
