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, but ...

a, Device structure of an on-chip infrared circular polarization detector based on the metal-MoS2-metal architecture. b, Band diagram of the two metal-MoS2 junctions functioning as two Schottky diodes ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a kind of energetic cosmic radio burst. Though their duration is usually at millisecond scale, their energy (estimated isotropically) reaches 10 ^36 ～10 ^41 erg, ...

Chirality is the property that the structure is not superposable on its mirrored image. Chiral materials exhibit the characteristic feature that they respond differently to left- and right-circularly ...

The first map of magnetic fields in a planetary formation disk has been created, revealing how invisible forces shape the ...

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

A new LDS cap antenna and evaluation board have been introduced by KYOCERA AVX in collaboration with Iridium for use with ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Skyrmions, known for their intricate spin textures, are topological quasiparticles initially studied in particle and solid-state physics. They hold great promise as ...

A new instrument can measure circular polarization, caused by the biosignature homochirality, from a rapidly moving helicopter: expanding possibilities in the search for life in space. When the latest ...
