But polarimetry, or measuring the rotation of plane-polarized light, can tell us a lot about about near and distant objects too, allowing astronomers to gain data on, for example, the size, shape, and ...

Who doesn’t know the problem of glare when trying to ogle a PCB underneath a microscope of some description? Even with a ring ...

Glare from the sun or reflections off other vehicles can quickly turn a routine drive into a stressful experience. Stand ...

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 ...
