The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated. This could enable a new ...

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next ...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked ...

A new LED design uses a built-in nanoscale metasurface to emit circularly polarized light directly, eliminating bulky optics ...

Researchers developed a quantum-dot circularly polarized light sensor using chiral charge transport layers, spanning ultraviolet to short-wave infrared wavelengths.

From 3D movie screens to augmented-reality devices, many modern technologies rely on our ability to manipulate light. Doing ...

LAES measurement using circularly polarized light. A femtosecond laser pulse and an electron pulse were fired at an argon gas beam at the same time, giving a scattering signal whose energy and angular ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Some beetles, such as Anomala albopilosa, strongly reflect left circularly polarized light (electromagnetic waves that oscillate leftward relative to the direction of light reception).

Astronomers have been puzzling over the origins of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) since the first one was spotted in 2007. Researchers now have their first look at non-repeating FRBs, i.e., those ...
