A team of astronomers have presented the first polarimetric observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, finding that it has ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

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 ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the brightest explosions in the universe. In just a few seconds, they can outshine all the stars ...

Daniel Urban teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how bees can see polarized light Did you know bees can see something humans can't? In this experiment, we explore how bees detect polarized light ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light. Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers ...

A Murdoch University researcher in Australia has determined that large-scale solar farms affect migratory routes of wildlife due to polarized light pollution, but this could be improved with ...
