A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems.

Who doesn’t know the problem of glare when trying to ogle a PCB underneath a microscope of some description? Even with a ring ...

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 ...

The research team, led by Andrea Cavalleri, used circularly polarized terahertz light pulses to switch between clockwise and ...

Scientists have discovered a method to switch ultra-stable ferroaxial materials using circular terahertz light, paving the way for next-generation, non-volatile data storage technologies. Modern life ...
