Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

A new LED design uses a built-in nanoscale metasurface to emit circularly polarized light directly, eliminating bulky optics ...

From 3D movie screens to augmented-reality devices, many modern technologies rely on our ability to manipulate light. Doing ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing ...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked ...

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 ...

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).

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science and Seoul National University have found that the visible luminescence from chiral gold nanoparticles, when exposed to near-infrared femtosecond ...
