Light, as we usually conceive of it, is defined by the astonishing velocity at which it moves from one point to another. For ...

By striking a gold nanorod off-center with an electron beam, researchers found a simple way to make light spin.

Scientists have used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information into a polarized light signal, a discovery that could revolutionize long-distance optical telecommunications, including ...

A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized ...

New spin on topology: spin guided light scattering has been observed in a liquid crystal (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Serg-DAV) Just as topological insulators provide protection to electrons travelling ...
