A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems.

Scientists built a chiral metal-organic framework that boosts circularly polarized light, achieving record luminescence and ...

Researchers from Shandong Normal University and the Australian National University have developed a new class of metasurfaces ...

A new class, ferroaxials, avoids these issues by hosting vortices of dipoles with clockwise or anticlockwise textures, but ...

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

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).

Scientists have discovered a method to switch ultra-stable ferroaxial materials using circular terahertz light, paving the way for next-generation, non-volatile data storage technologies. Modern life ...

Well, it’s likely not an energy solution for single-family homes. But skyscrapers built with these light-collecting windows could generate a lot of electricity.

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" ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the direction of the spin-polarized current can be restricted to only one direction in a single-atom layer of a thallium-lead alloys when irradiated at room ...
