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).

A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

Scientists built a chiral metal-organic framework that boosts circularly polarized light, achieving record luminescence and offering a new design path for optical materials. (Nanowerk News) A research ...

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...

An ultracompact circularly polarized light source is a crucial component for the applications of classical and quantum optics information processing. The development of this field relies on the ...

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is found in conventional systems. In conventional antiferromagnets, the ...
