When the plane-polarized light from one filter is passed through an optically active substance such as corn syrup, the plane of the polarized light is rotated. This rotated light is partially blocked ...

Polarized light is made up of waves that vibrate in a single plane -- vertically, horizontally, or another angle in between. The direction that light from FRBs is polarized was seen to change in ...

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

Amyloid stained by Congo red is traditionally said to show apple-green birefringence in polarized light, although in practice various colors may be seen between accurately crossed polarizing ...

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

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 ...

Astronomers developed a new method to calibrate detectors to the light from dust in our Galaxy, thereby describing a new physics, with 99.2 percent accuracy, that may show parity symmetry breaking.

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