Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like ...

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the early years of the new millennium. After he came to the University of ...

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.

An optical microscope image of a representative crystal that possesses centrosymmetry, yet shows differential absorption of circularly polarized light. The crystal is made of lithium, cobalt ...

Crystals made of lithium, cobalt, selenium, and oxygen seem to defy the conventions of symmetry in the way polarized light (arrows) rotates as it passes through the crystal.

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 ...

Trump preparing large-scale cancellation of federal funding for California, sources say Lake Mead's concerningly low level prompts National Park Service action Aftermath of Ukraine drone strike on ...

Polarized light microscopy was used to monitor the sedimentation of silica rods in the DMSO/H 2 O solvent and observe the nucleation of crystalline domains. Imaging the sample under polarized ...
