Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, ...

Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters ...

New method identifies altermagnets by signatures from circularly polarized light, validated in MnTe, speeding discovery for ...

Despite its widespread use, PPG accuracy can vary significantly across individuals, particularly by skin tone. Darker skin contains more melanin, which absorbs and scatters light, often leading to ...

Important instruments for neuroscience and medical diagnostics, optically pumped magnetometers measure responses of polarized atoms to produce information about the low-frequency external field. They ...

Researchers at Brown University have developed a wearable sensor that uses polarized light to improve the accuracy of ...

Quantum communication saw major progress, including longer-distance demonstrations and systems that operate closer to ...

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

A chip-scale interface entangles light and electronic states without cryogenic cooling, bringing quantum networking hardware ...
