(Nanowerk News) A research team from the Graduate School of Engineering at Kobe University, comprising of Master's student Hiromasa Negoro, Associate Professor Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Professor Minoru ...

A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

This article covers how circular dichroism microspectroscopy reveals chiral properties in advanced metamaterials.

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).

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...

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 ...

In recent years, molecular materials exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)—light with a specific rotational direction (right- or left-handed)—have attracted considerable attention for ...

Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets and ferroelectrics underpin modern data storage, yet face limits: They switch slowly, or suffer from unstable polarization due to depolarizing fields ...

Eyestrain, often attributed to glare or specular reflection, can significantly affect our screen viewing experience. To mitigate this issue, a common approach involves the use of upper polarizers for ...
