Raman optical activity, long thought to require chiral molecules or magnetic order, has been demonstrated in an achiral, ...

This scanning electron microscope image of cardiomyocyte cells cultured on an array of electro-plasmonic nanoantennae shows the considerable size difference between the nanoantennae and electrogenic ...

A new study aims to derive an analytical model of optical activity in black phosphorous under an external magnetic field. Optical activity in chiral molecules has become a hot topic in physics and ...

Controlling the polarization state of light with sub-picosecond speed and sub-wavelength precision remains a key challenge for next-generation nanophotonic devices. Conventional methods, such as ...

Manipulating the polarization states of electromagnetic waves has been a long-time interest in realms of life sciences, photoelectrons, telecommunications, etc. Materials with chirality, which can ...

Basic polarimeters are comprised of a light source, two polarizing filters, an eyepiece for direct observation of optical rotation and a sample tube containing a solvent of interest. This phenomenon ...
