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 ...

Using advanced metasurfaces, researchers can now twist light to uncover hidden images and detect molecular handedness, potentially revolutionizing data encryption, biosensing, and drug safety.
