A new pathway has opened for controlling the rotation direction of light simply by changing how molecules are arranged, without having to synthesize complex new materials. Circularly polarized light ...

Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new tools for nanoscale photonics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Directing light along ...

Polarized light waves spin clockwise or counterclockwise as they travel, with one direction behaving differently than the other as it interacts with molecules. This directionality, called chirality or ...

Researchers have identified key structures in photosensitive plant tissue that allow them to determine the direction of light, leading to positive phototropism. A recent research collaboration between ...
