A remarkable aspect of this technology is its ability to project entirely different images depending on both the wavelength (color) and spin (polarization direction) of light. For example, ...

Invention of the first integrated circularly polarized light detector on a silicon chip opens the door for development of small, portable sensors that could expand the use of polarized light for ...

To demonstrate the power of their device, the team devised an experiment in which they used their bilayer metalens to act on polarized light in the same way that a complicated system of waveplates ...

Consequently, LCD screens inherently emit linearly polarized light. The LCD Circularly Polarized Light Display technology takes a different approach. It involves stacking a visible light 1/4-wave ...

Many invertebrates use it. So do birds, reptiles and amphibians. However, there was no evidence that mammals used polarized light to help with their navigation until now. “When light passes ...

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 ...

The ants showed themselves capable of navigating by polarized moonlight even during a crescent moon, when the light signal would have been just 20 percent as strong as a full moon—which itself ...
