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

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 ...

By demonstrating that light can selectively move chiral nanoparticles, the study offers a simpler, more effective way to ...

A new semipolar InGaN LED with an integrated metasurface produces circularly polarized light at 68% conversion efficiency, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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).

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit circularly polarized light, a special form of light whose "handedness" ...

New LEDs structure reduces energy loss and enables compact light sources for AR/VR, 3D displays, and quantum ...

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