In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

The entirely new structure of light could help drug developers see their work more clearly than before. An entirely new structure of light is helping to measure chirality in molecules more accurately ...

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.

A completely new structure of light just dropped, called the chiral vortex – and the international team of scientists behind its creation says it could be crucial in developing new drugs and in ...

The structure of the "antenna" that a blue-green alga uses to harvest light has been determined by RIKEN researchers and compared with those of four other species. In addition to providing clues about ...
