Greetings stargazers. Everything we know about things outside of our solar system is from the light we receive. I am using ...

This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Scientists explore the physics of how polarization-filtered colors emerge, how they can be controlled, and why subtle changes in viewing angle, sample orientation, and the order of layers of films ...

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has advanced the characterization and retrieval capability evaluation of microphysical properties of ...

This means that instead of traveling in multiple directions as they would in the air, the light waves all travel in one direction, along a single plane. That direction is determined chiefly by the ...

Physicists have shown that ultra-thin two-dimensional materials such as tungsten diselenide can rotate the polarization of visible light by several degrees at certain wavelengths under small magnetic ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in controlling the polarization of light, a crucial property ...
