Optical activity is the rotation of the plane of linearly polarized light along the propagation direction as the light travels through optically active materials. In existing methods, the strength of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Rice University and Nanyang Technological University report nanoparticle clusters that open up access to a new dimension of optically active materials ...

A University of Tsukuba researcher describes a new method for obtaining conjugated polymers in a helical configuration. By using twisted liquid crystals as a template, the resulting polymers were ...

In an era where autonomous navigation, medical diagnostics and remote sensing are rapidly evolving, traditional cameras— limited to capturing only the red, green, and blue (RGB) light intensities—are ...
