Researchers at The University of Osaka, in collaboration with ULVAC, Inc. and Ritsumeikan University, have developed a new ...

A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized ...

LAES measurement using circularly polarized light. A femtosecond laser pulse and an electron pulse were fired at an argon gas beam at the same time, giving a scattering signal whose energy and angular ...

The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated. This could enable a new ...

Laser-assisted electron scattering was observed using circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses in the near-infrared range, a first for this technique. Energy and angular distributions of ...

Astronomers have been puzzling over the origins of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) since the first one was spotted in 2007. Researchers now have their first look at non-repeating FRBs, i.e., those ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Some beetles, such as Anomala albopilosa, strongly reflect left circularly polarized light (electromagnetic waves that oscillate leftward relative to the direction of light reception).

What scientists previously thought about where Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) come from is just the tip of the iceberg. A new study details the properties of polarized light from 128 non-repeating FRBs and ...

The black hole at the center of our galaxy has been compared to a doughnut — and as it turns out, this doughnut has swirls. Scientists shared a mesmerizing new image on Wednesday, showing Sagittarius ...
