Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.

Researchers have introduced an innovative two-step excitation approach that makes it possible to efficiently generate and clearly separate different modes of hyperbolic polaritons. An international co ...

This study presents an elliptical retarder model, enhancing polarization analysis and offering a robust framework for ...

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

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

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

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light ...

The diagnosis of gout sets into motion an assessment and therapeutic program for comorbidities, plus an enduring treatment program for gout-flare treatment and prophylaxis and serum urate lowering.

Who doesn’t know the problem of glare when trying to ogle a PCB underneath a microscope of some description? Even with a ring light, you find yourself struggling to make out fine detail such as ...
