A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...

Scientists explore the physics of how polarization-filtered colors emerge, how they can be controlled, and why subtle changes in viewing angle, sample orientation, and the order of layers of films ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.230052 discusses structured light beams with controllable polarization along arbitrary trajectories. A structured light refers to ...

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...
