It has been known for centuries that light exhibits wave-like behavior in certain situations. Some materials are able to rotate the polarization, i.e. the direction of oscillation, of the light wave ...

Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices enable ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists have used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information into a polarized light signal, a discovery that could revolutionize long-distance optical telecommunications, ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...
