Fear (noun) - an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm.
Fear is a primal emotion, that is to say one of the most basic emotions humans feel (as well as happiness, love, sadness, anger, for instance.)ย 
Fear causes biochemical responses that will provoke behavioral reactions, physical as much as emotional (see Physiological signs & Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn).ย 
Fear is triggered by stimulus occurring in the present, in anticipation, or expectation of a risk or a threat to oneโ€™s safety, whether it is physical, psychological, real, or imagined. A rational and appropriate fear is called a fear. An irrational and inappropriate fear is called a phobia, and falls under the umbrella of Anxiety Disorders.
๐•ป๐–๐–ž๐–˜๐–Ž๐–”๐–‘๐–”๐–Œ๐–Ž๐–ˆ๐–†๐–‘ ๐–˜๐–Ž๐–Œ๐–“๐–˜
When stressed, the brain and more precisely the hypothalamus, the area of the brain responsible for body hormone control, releases epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. It causes various types of physical responses such as:
Dilated pupils
Tense musclesย 
Shaking limbs
Stomach pain
Nausea
Sweating
Quickened heartbeat
Increase in blood pressure
Rapid breathing
Feeling choked
More explanation on healthline, โ€œFight, Flight, Freeze: What this response means.โ€
Those signs help your body analyze more stimulus (dilated pupils), or to make your muscles more vascularized to be ready for a run or a fight for instance.
There also are side effects such as nausea and stomach pain caused by the release of adrenaline in the system.
Overall the goal of those physical reactions is to make you aware that you are in danger and ready to face it through psychological and physical response.
๐•ฎ๐–†๐–š๐–˜๐–Š๐–˜
There is a theory as for the appearance of fears; some would be innate and others acquired.
An innate fear is a fear acquired without any learning of how dangerous it can be. For example, most people have a natural fear of loud noises, pain or fear heights. Those are coded in our DNA through evolution as survival techniques, and/or transmitted in genes.
An acquired fear has been learned through experience or conditioning, for instance being scared of spiders, crowded-spaces or clowns. Those fears appear after stimulus causes intense fear, so much so that the brain retains it as a threat.

Those responses are caused by hormonal and physiological changes, allowing the body to protect itself from threats. They are survival instincts we gained from our ancestors who lived in dangerous environments.ย 
The fear response cannot be anticipated. It is not a matter of willpower, but a matter of brain chemistry. Some people may fight against assault but freeze facing a light car crash. The response is proper to each and everyoneโ€™s brain and psychology (heavily based on their traumas and acquired fears).
Responses have both emotional and physical responses.
๐•ฑ๐–Ž๐–Œ๐–๐–™ ๐–—๐–Š๐–˜๐–•๐–”๐–“๐–˜๐–Š
Tight jaw or grinding teeth
Urge to punch, kick, stomp
Intense anger, homicidal or suicidal thoughts
Crying
Glaring
Upset stomach (caused by adrenaline)
High energy
Confrontation
Ultimately, feeling ready or attacking the source of danger.

Excessively exercising
Being fidgety, tense or trapped
Constantly moving
Restlessness
Numbness in extremities
Dilated, darting eyes
Anxiety/Panic
Avoidance
High energy
Ultimately, feeling ready to run away.

Pale skin
Sense of dread
Dissociation
Shutdown
Low energy
Feeling stiff, heavy, cold, numb
Loud pounding heart
Decreasing in heart rate
Sensing tolerated stress
Ultimately, feeling unable to move or act.
๐•ฑ๐–†๐–œ๐–“ ๐–—๐–Š๐–˜๐–•๐–”๐–“๐–˜๐–Š
Finding self expression challenging
Not being able to say โ€œnoโ€
Over-apologizing
Holding back opinions that may be controversial
Trying to be a โ€œfixerโ€
Attempting to control otherโ€™s choices to maintain some sort of emotional safety
Denying own discomfort, complaints, pain, needs and wants
The fawn response may be used after unsuccessfully trying one or several of the three options above. This response is more observed in those who grew up in abusive families or situations and suffer trauma from it.ย 
When fawning, one abandons their own needs to serve othersโ€™ so that to avoid conflict, criticism or disapproval.

Fear is a primal emotion, meaning it is inherent to a healthy human brain. However, some people may either feel little fear, and in very rare cases, no fear at all.
The Urbach-Wiethe disease is an extremely rare syndrome (400 cases listed since the early 20th century) caused by a gene mutation. In most cases, it changes appearance, causing the appearance of papules (bumps under the skin) around the eyes, plaques, lesions or scars, a hoarse voice, but also the calcification of cerebral tissue. This calcification may lead to complete annihilation of fear.

(On the left, a patient with a healthy brain. On the right a patient suffering from the Urbach-Wiethe disease, with an amygdala calcification.)
The Urbach-Wiethe disease came to my knowledge after reading a novel where the main character suffers from it: โ€œPromets-moi dโ€™avoir peurโ€ by Frรฉdรฉric Lepage. For those of you who can read French and are interested, I shared an Amazon link into the sources below.
Here is a short translation of the diagnosis scene explaining some symptoms as well as the history of the disease.
๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช
โ€œThe disease we are thinking of,โ€ he explains, โ€appears more frequently on caucasian with german of south-african origins.โ€
He approaches Luna and, from the very tip of his fingers, lowers, one after the other, his upper eyelids.
โ€œAt the crease of your eyelids, you have two or three minuscule skin excrescences, some sorts of little bubbles. It is another clue.โ€
โ€œA clue of what?โ€
Just as Jasmine did two days earlier, he slightly pinches Lunaโ€™s cheek between his fingers and looks closer at the crease it creates.
โ€œThe skin is dry, but not lumpy yet,โ€ he says, turning around to Jasmine who nods.
โ€œYou didnโ€™t answer me,โ€ she insists. โ€œA clue of what?โ€
Kane takes his gloves off, places them back into their plastic cover and throws them into the trash can.
โ€œIn 1929, a dermatologist and an otorhinolaryngologist from Vienna treated, each on their own, the same patient. The first one, for a stiffening of the skin. The second one, for a voice illness, making it hoarse. The first doctor was named Erich Urbach, the other, Camillo Wiethe. To all appearances, symptoms had nothing in common. However, they realized they were simultaneously observed on a few other patients, ever since 1908.โ€
โ€œI see how this relates to me,โ€ questions Luna, โ€œbut Iโ€™m not sure why. It canโ€™t be that because I have some lumps on my eyelids that Iโ€™m becoming a textbook case?โ€
โ€œThere is something else. We quickly noticed that a certain behavioral disorder could add up to those symptoms.โ€
โ€œYou must guess which one,โ€ whispers Jasmine Coleman, holding Lunaโ€™s hand.
โ€œThe absence of fear?โ€
โ€œYes,โ€ answers Kane, โ€œa calcification of the amygdala, which provokes a gradual loss, partial or total, of the feeling of fear.โ€
๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช
๐–‚๐–—๐–Ž๐–™๐–Ž๐–“๐–Œ ๐–™๐–๐–Š ๐–†๐–‡๐–˜๐–Š๐–“๐–ˆ๐–Š ๐–”๐–‹ ๐–‹๐–Š๐–†๐–—
Once again, I will here translate a extract of the book that captures the absence of fear, and how it impacts the characterโ€™s life. It may not be the greatest scene to display the illness, but I chose a spoiler free scene.
The main character went on a roller coaster with her nephew, and the latter goes to pick up a picture taken during the amusement ride. Here you can see the difference between her and people who feel fear.
๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช ๐“†ฉโ™ฑ๐“†ช
Theo rushes to the stall where lay photographs taken by an automatic camera during the big fall. They are for sale for fifteen dollars. At the time of the capture, speed isolates one expression: the pure spirit of fear. In the picture, the kid exhibits a face deformed by fright, bulging eyes, contracted jaws, his neck muscles tense like strings. Luna, herself, only has a face changed by the acceleration. The skin stretches to the back, a flow of air forces its way between her lips and fills her cheeks, her hair is flattened against the headrest, but nothing in her betrays dread. Her eyes linger on the scenery. Her posture doesnโ€™t show any other tension than physical, provoked by inertia. Luna gives herself over to entertainment more than she suffers a torment. On the little train loaded with thrilled others that fear would retrospectively make them reach climax, she only remains impervious. Her eyes could be checking up on her make up thanks to a pocket mirror, her expression at the worst timing of the attraction wouldnโ€™t be so much different.ย 
It takes Luna a couple of seconds to recognize herself in this shut and sourpuss character who excludes the collective emotion. She takes a look a little closer, somehow ashamed. On the glazed paper, this woman, stranger to the fear that elates his companions, who wonders about something else while anxiety paralyzes Theodore, thatโ€™s her. Sheโ€™s already known, sometimes, this indifference to communal fear, but for the first time, she feels it like a disability, because it took away a moment of complicity with her nephew.

New research shows previously unknown way light interacts with matter #research #photoemission #semiconductor #silicon #photon #optical
In a recent issue of ACS Nano, researchers have discovered a previously unknown way that light interacts with matter. In the finding, photons can obtain substantial momentum, much like electrons in solid material, when confined to nanometer-scale spaces within silicon. This discovery may lead to improved solar panels, LEDs, lasers, and a variety of other technological advancements. The paperโ€™sโ€ฆ
