EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials emit polarized light over time.

Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new tools for nanoscale photonics.

For the first time, astronomers have used a ground-based telescope to observe polarized microwave light from the universe's earliest epoch. Their observations could give them a better ...

Pink squirrels and green sharks—why do so many animals ‘glow’ in UV light? Animals with ultraviolet color patterns can be found all over nature. Here’s what we know about what purpose ...

An anti-aging facial pad developed through collaboration between Fraunhofer ISC and B-COS GmbH is applied to a test subject’s skin. It stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen ...

Though the light wave isn’t carcinogenic, like UVA and UVB, Shirazi says that some studies show infrared in large amounts or high intensities may damage collagen and elastin, and could even ...

At the age of 25, our skin begins losing collagen. Factors like the sun, stress, and hormonal changes can accelerate its degradation.

Researchers from the University of Bayreuth have discovered the mechanism by which collagen, the most common protein in the human body, successfully assembles itself. They identified electrostatic ...

The two-photon interference effect of polarized light holds significant research importance in quantum optics. Different types of polarized light exhibit distinct interference behaviors, making the ...
