Polarized light is made up of waves that vibrate in a single plane -- vertically, horizontally, or another angle in between.

EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted ...

Polarized light is made up of waves that vibrate in a single plane—vertically, horizontally, or another angle in between.

Scientists have discovered a centrosymmetric crystal that behaves as though it is chiral – absorbing left- and right-handed ...

“Polarized lenses have a polarized film that filters reflected light in a vertical plane (the reflected light is predominately vibrating in a horizontal plane),” says Behle. “In channeling that light, ...

A photo shared online in March 2024 shows the first image in polarized light of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

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.

Polarized light yields fresh insight into mysterious fast radio bursts Scientists looked at how polarization changed direction to learn more about origins.
