Light can carry angular momentum in two distinct ways. One comes from polarization, which describes how the electric field ...

The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a ...

Handedness-selective chiral transport is an intriguing phenomenon that not only holds significant importance for fundamental research, but it also carries application prospects in fields such as ...

Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect stems from a ...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked ...

Silicon nanospheres amplify second-harmonic generation from monolayer semiconductors over 40-fold while retaining ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through pigmentation or dyes. Some beetle exoskeletons, avian feathers, butterfly ...
