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 ...

Every critter on this planet that relies on a sexual means of reproduction has its own way of luring in a mate – but ...

Bright, twisted light can be produced with technology similar to an Edison light bulb, researchers have shown. The finding adds nuance to fundamental physics while offering a new avenue for robotic ...

Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, polarization is key for future ...
