Each mineral type has a specific crystal structure, so they will show up differently in doubled polarized light, but their optical properties will also be specific for that mineral type. That means we ...

To test the theory, the team synthesized the crystal and studied how it interacted with circularly polarized light. As ...

Centrosymmetric crystals have always absorbed equal amounts of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light—until now ...

In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice University have achieved a major milestone in nanomaterials ...
