Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense ...

Centrosymmetric crystals have always absorbed equal amounts of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light—until now ...

The principle of wave-particle duality is crucial in quantum physics, highlighting the dual nature of light and matter and ...

But traditionally used methods for measuring molecule sizes struggle to capture such fast, transient processes. Conventional ...

Polarization of photons plays a key role in quantum optics and light-matter interactions, however, it is difficult to control in nanostructures. Here scientists reveal polarization control of ...

When the incident wave is an on-chip surface wave, the mode “surviving” in free space is a specific circularly polarized light, and both the radiation angle and polarization state of this mode can be ...

However, manipulating the polarization of THz waves has long been a formidable challenge. The difficulty with THz waves from two main features: their mesoscale wavelength, which is three orders of ...
