A completely new structure of light just dropped, called the chiral vortex – and the international team of scientists behind its creation says it could be crucial in developing new drugs and in ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a new approach to secure optical communication that hides ...

Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometers thick—over 1,000 times ...

The entirely new structure of light could help drug developers see their work more clearly than before. An entirely new structure of light is helping to measure chirality in molecules more accurately ...

Light modes with such added structure are called “structured,” and even more exotic forms of structured light can be attained in artificial optical materials – metamaterials, where multiple light ...

The small Caenorhabditis elegans nematode avoids light. While it does not have eyes, some of its cells contain a protein called LITE-1, which warns it of the sun, whose rays are dangerous for the ...

A new liquid crystal device lets scientists control how light twists and behaves using voltage, making it possible to reshape light patterns without changing the physical structure of the device.

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured “dark points” inside light waves that appear to travel faster than light itself, confirming a theoretical prediction made half ...
