EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials ...

Polarization—the orientation of light waves—is a cornerstone of modern technology, critical in everything from next-generation wireless communications to biomedical imaging. However ...

THz waves hold great promise, but to harness them effectively, their polarization (the direction in which the waves vibrate) must be controlled. Polarization control is crucial for optimizing THz ...

Gravitational waves can rotate the polarization of light, providing an indirect means of detection. Nevertheless, this gravitational radiation would affect any light passing through, curling its ...

To test if gravitational waves from black hole mergers do demonstrate a mirror-symmetry-breaking handedness, Bustillo and colleagues measured the polarization of gravitational waves coming from 47 ...

As a second wave of infections ravages the northern hemisphere, Argentina finds itself in the midst of a summer that is seeing a troubling increase in reported cases of Covid-19.

Obama is part of a story of political polarization that dates back to the second year of the Iraq war: Read the full story at Gallup.

However, polarization imaging, which captures the specific oscillation signatures of different light waves, has largely stayed in the confines of scientific or medical labs.

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts ...

The effect of electron collisions on the polarization of waves reflected from the ionosphere is calculated by an iteration procedure and shown to be relatively small at night for both normal and ...

Independent controls of various properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Towards this goal, scientists in China proposed the concept and ...

Wave nature of light, mathematics of wave motion, electromagnetic theory of light propagation, reflection and refraction, Fresnel coefficients, polarization, interference, Young's experiment, fringe ...
