Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

Researchers embedded a liquid crystal layer into a waveguide that was created with direct laser writing (pictured). The resulting hybrid device can be used to change the polarization of light ...

Dark matter is a type of matter that is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it is very difficult to ...

Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices enable ...
