Daniel Urban teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how bees can see polarized light Did you know bees can see something humans can't? In this experiment, we explore how bees detect polarized light ...

Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters and transforms inside real-world materials has long been treated as a black ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, which could help advance biomedical imaging and material design. Their work, ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...
