"The polarization of the wave corresponds to different modes of field oscillations. For linear polarization, the electric and magnetic fields oscillate along a single direction, whereas for circular ...

The object carried a unique feature related to its light reflective capabilities, which set it apart from previous ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a kind of energetic cosmic radio burst. Though their duration is usually at millisecond scale, their energy (estimated isotropically) reaches 10 ^36 ～10 ^41 erg, ...

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 ...
