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

(Nanowerk News) A research team from the Graduate School of Engineering at Kobe University, comprising of Master's student Hiromasa Negoro, Associate Professor Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Professor Minoru ...

Scientists developed a photodiode using a crystalline film composed of lead perovskite compounds with organic chiral molecules to detect circularly polarized light without a filter. It is expected as ...

(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 ...

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).

At the BESSY II storage ring, a team has shown how the helicity of circularly polarized synchrotron radiation can be switched faster - up to a million times faster than before. They used an elliptical ...

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

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

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 ...

Many people know how helpful polarized sunglasses are in cutting the glare coming off water on a sunny day. But a filter that could let people see — or block out — all the polarizations of visible ...
