As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than ...

The erupting magnetar observed by IXPE is known as 1E 1841-045, a neutron star located around 28,000 light-years from Earth ...

A research team led by Associate Prof. Wang Anting from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the ...

Now, astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) have analyzed the polarization of that light to determine that the cloud was likely spherically symmetric, adding further ...

A new and quicker way of modulating the polarization of light pulses has been unveiled by researchers in the UK. The technique uses a second laser pulse to control polarization and could be used in a ...

A structured light refers to a light field which is "customized" in both space and time, characterized by its unique distribution of amplitude, phase, and polarization state in both space and time.

Schmidt College of Science in collaboration with scientists at the University of Seoul and Seoul National University, South Korea, found that light's polarization—the direction it vibrates as it ...

Researchers have revealed that praying mantis (mantids) infected with parasitic hairworms are attracted to horizontally polarized light that is strongly reflected off the surface of water ...

From smartphones and TVs to credit cards, technologies that manipulate light are deeply embedded in our daily lives, many of ...
