A new mechanism steers diodes made of a single enantiomer to emit light of right- and left-handed polarizations ...

In a breakthrough that could transform future screens and communication technology, researchers at the University of Oxford ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs ...

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).

(Nanowerk News) A research team from the Graduate School of Engineering at Kobe University, comprising of Master's student Hiromasa Negoro, Associate Professor Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Professor Minoru ...

Polarized sunglasses work by using special chemicals to block light polarized in one direction, thereby eliminating about 50% of the light. Light can also be ‘circularly’ polarized, such that the axis ...

Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. Left and right circularly polarized light, where the ...

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 ...

An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, the ...
