A telescope in Chile has revealed the swirling splendor of star-forming gases at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since both were still photons when they came out.

Metalenz has unveiled Polar 3D, an imaging capability that uses the same polarization-based sensor hardware as its Polar ID face authentication product to generate lighting-independent 3D facial data ...

Imagine trying to photograph wind. That’s similar to what NASA engineers dealt with during a recent effort to study how air ...

A new publication DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250193 discusses electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation paves the ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase ...
