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 ...

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)-led research team has adopted gyromagnetic double-zero-index metamaterials (GDZIMs)—a new optical extreme-parameter material—and developed a ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oes.2024.240001 discusses robust detection technology of orbital angular momentum of partially coherent vortex light fields in complex ...

Short pulses from a laser can be twisted into a series of doughnut-like vortices, offering a way to transmit more information using light. We usually encounter vortices in water and air, but similar ...

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 ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create unique ...
