Research has revealed how minute structural modifications in advanced perovskite materials critically influence their ...

The quantum behavior of atomic vibrations excited in a crystal using light pulses has much to do with the polarization of the pulses, say materials scientists. The findings from their latest study ...

A flexible optical identifier uses polarized emission from self-assembled crystal films to create two stable states that ...

Switching the polarization of laser light shone onto a crystal in solution determines its precise structure when it forms. The precise structure of crystals can be controlled simply by illuminating a ...

IN the course of some work on crystal-grain phenomena in creep specimens of aluminium alloys, we have used the polarized light technique for microscopic examination described by Hone and Pearson 1, ...

A team has produced a family of dendrimers that form single-crystals and can harvest non-polarized light and transform it into polarized emission. The dendrimer crystals are both optically and ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...

The quantum behavior of atomic vibrations excited in a crystal using light pulses has much to do with the polarization of the pulses, say materials scientists from Tokyo Tech. The findings from their ...

To the naked eye, solids may appear perfectly still, but in reality, their constituent atoms and molecules are anything but. They rotate and vibrate, respectively defining the so-called "rotational" ...
