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.

How do left-handed and right-handed molecules differ? Researchers at ETH Zurich are using a new imaging method to visualize ...

Deep in the heart of our galaxy lies one of the most chaotic and mysterious regions in space. Now, scientists have created ...

Researchers have demonstrated that catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) can ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, polarization is key for future ...
