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

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

Engineers have developed a multifunctional, reconfigurable component for an optical computing system that could be a game changer in electronics.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Light is exhausting for your eyes. As beams bounce off different surfaces, and come in from different angles, your pupils struggle to keep up with moment-to-moment changes. Polarized lenses help make ...
