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" ...

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).

Left and right circularly polarized light, where the electromagnetic waves spiral in a clockwise and counterclockwise manner as they travel, plays a crucial role in a wide range of applications, from ...

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 ...

It's a beautiful summer day, and you're outside enjoying the weather. You are wearing your favorite sunglasses for protection from the bright sun. However, you still find yourself squinting when the ...

Catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) enables high-resolution intraoperative visualization of deep brain structures, offering a powerful complement to MRI for ...
