Ferroelectrics are seen as promising candidates for the electronics of tomorrow. An experiment at the world's largest X-ray ...

NASA's IXPE measured x-ray polarization during an outburst from a magnetar, a noteworthy first in astrophysics.

A new liquid crystal device lets scientists control how light twists and behaves using voltage, making it possible to reshape light patterns without changing the physical structure of the device.

Polarization is the degree to which a light wave is rotated, which astronomers can decode to infer the nature of the environments the light has traveled through.

In the realm of high repetition rate lasers, Pockels cells emerge as quintessential components, wielding significant influence over laser performance and functionality. These electro-optic devices, ...

A galaxy billions of light-years across space-time has puzzled scientists since its discovery more than 50 years ago.

Scientists studying asteroids found that two seemingly unrelated types share a strange dusty coating of troilite. By using ...
