Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

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.

Abstract: This article presents a novel dual linearly polarized shared-aperture 2-bit programmable metasurface (PMS) with high cross-polarization discrimination (XPD). Two orthogonally placed ...

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 ...

Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

Elliptical retarder model improves polarization analysis for material design and biomedical imaging. The work, reported in Advanced Photonics Nexus, focuses on improving how researchers analyze a key ...

The European XFEL is being prepared for scientific operation after a longer break. We were there one last time beforehand.

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

Abstract: Aiming at the polarized light transmission characteristics under complex sea fog environment, the sea fog is divided into two layers of salt fog layer and water fog layer. Firstly, the ...
