Light corn syrup is used to rotate the plane of polarized light on the stage of an overhead projector. A polarizing filter allows only those photons with electric fields oscillating in a single plane ...

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

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 ...

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

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

Many pathologists use Congo red to make a diagnosis of amyloid and state the common opinion that in polarized light, Congo red-stained amyloid shows apple-green birefringence, sometimes called ...

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.

Metalenz, maker of highly compact “2D” cameras for advanced sensing, hopes to bring polarized light into the mix for security and safety with its PolarEyes tech.

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.
