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 ...

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 ...

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...

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" ...

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has advanced the ...

A breakthrough design combining a multi-periodic (Pd/Fe/FeO/MgO)4 spin tunnel junction and the coexistence of skyrmions and bimerons has enabled unprecedented control over electron spins. This ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...
