Circular polarizing filters are my must-have for working with reflections, and these budget Hoya filters are all under $30 ...

By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, EPFL scientists have engineered ...

By twisting light just right, scientists can now unlock dual hidden images from a single metasurface—ushering in new ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a widely used surgical treatment for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and obsessive–compulsive disorder. The procedure involves ...

Astronomers using the CHIME telescope are looking at strange, one-off cosmic explosions with a new angle. This could bring us closer to solving the lingering mystery of fast radio bursts.

Pandhi et al. decided to investigate how the direction of the light polarization from 128 non-repeating FRBs changes to learn more about the environments in which they originated.

We’ve never known why sunspots can last on our star’s surface for as long as they do, but we finally cracked the case.

What scientists previously thought about where Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) come from is just the tip of the iceberg. A new study details the properties of polarized light from 128 non-repeating FRBs ...

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 ...

They can even detect circular polarized light. All of this excellent visual information makes them lethal underwater hunters (not to mention they can punch about 100 times harder than a human, but ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists have used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information into a polarized light signal, a discovery that could revolutionize long-distance optical telecommunications, ...
