Scientists uncovered how boron nitride nanotubes can be coaxed into forming ordered liquid crystalline phases in water.

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

This paper presents a novel dual-linearly polarized liquid crystal reflectarray antenna (DLP-LCRA) based on a printed circuit board (PCB) process. The proposed design employs a bridge-shaped biasing ...

Li 2 Co 3 (SeO 3) 4 crystals absorb more clockwise polarized light than if it is anticlockwise (or the reverse, depending on the crystal).

Circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) films with high dissymmetry factors hold great potential for optoelectronic applications. Herein, we propose a strategy for achieving strongly dissymetric CPL in ...

We present a new nonlinear optical technique to probe chirality, i.e., lack of reflection symmetry, of surfaces and thin molecular films. The technique is based on second-harmonic generation and ...

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) with a linearly polarized white light emission is demonstrated using a nanograting structure. The aluminum based grating structure is fabricated by laser ...

Optical microscope image of a representative crystal that possesses centrosymmetry, yet shows differential absorption of circularly polarized light.

Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) is the common name of several techniques, which utilizes the blinking of fluorophores to surpass the diffraction limit, such as PALM, dSTORM etc. In all ...
