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

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

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

Intense laser pulses can be used to manipulate or even switch the magnetization orientation of a material on extremely short time scales. Typically, such effects are thermally induced, as the absorbed ...

Using Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation, an international team of researchers has observed a hint of new physics. The team developed a new method to measure the polarization ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device ...

A twisted pair of photonic crystals integrated with MEMS can dynamically control the handedness of light on a chip.
