Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

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

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).

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

Scientists built a chiral metal-organic framework that boosts circularly polarized light, achieving record luminescence and offering a new design path for optical materials. (Nanowerk News) A research ...

Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new tools for nanoscale photonics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Directing light along ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

Bright, twisted light can be produced with technology similar to an Edison light bulb, researchers have shown. The finding adds nuance to fundamental physics while offering a new avenue for robotic ...

Researchers have developed formamidinium (FA)-alloyed cesium lead iodide perovskite nanoplatelets that combine improvements ...
