Photonics is the study of the generation, detection, and manipulation of light waves in the form of photons. One interesting property of light is polarization, defined by its electric and magnetic ...

It has been known for centuries that light exhibits wave-like behavior in certain situations. Some materials are able to rotate the polarization, i.e. the direction of oscillation, of the light wave ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...
