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 ...

With this method, doctors around the world can easily, rapidly and reliably detect malaria, Ebola or HIV to name only a few. Nothing could be simpler: a drop of blood is placed on a special carrier ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

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.

In a cross-sectional study, 140 eyes of 73 subjects of Indian origin (37 men and 36 women) underwent corneal birefringence measurements with scanning laser polarimetry (GDxPRO, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.

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.

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, ...

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 ...
