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

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 ...

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

Volumetric imaging of the 3D orientation of cellular structures with a polarized fluorescence light-sheet microscope. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2025; 122 (8) DOI: 10.1073 ...

LiCo(SeO) crystals absorb more clockwise polarized light than if it is anticlockwise (or the reverse, depending on the crystal). “This discovery is surprising to many in the scientific community whom, ...
