Researchers find gravitational lensing has significant effect on cosmic birefringence. ScienceDaily. Retrieved March 19, 2026 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 11 / 231102135148.htm Kavli ...

Over the past decades, researchers have demonstrated conventional solitons, stretched pulses, self-similar pulses, and dissipative solitons by managing the dispersion and nonlinearity of fiber lasers.

ETH researchers led by Raffaele Mezzenga have developed a new diagnostic method. It is based on Birefringence, the ability of substances to change the polarisation state of light. With this method, ...

An obscure optical effect that had faded from view for more than a century suddenly has become a hot topic for microelectronics producers. New studies show that this effect, called intrinsic ...

Stimuli-sensitive materials can respond to physical forces with structural phase transitions. This also applies to biopolymer-surfactant mixtures, a study by German and Chinese scientists now reports.

A weird quantum effect may have just been observed for the first time in the polarised light of empty space around neutron star. The effect, known as vacuum birefringence, was first predicted by ...

This news release is available in German. Nothing could be simpler: a drop of blood is placed on a special carrier substance; after a wait of a few minutes, the slide is placed on a device that emits ...
