Yuto Minami at KEK and Eiichiro Komatsu at Kavli IPMU developed a new method to calibrate detectors to the light from dust in our Galaxy, thereby describing a new physics, with 99.2 percent ...

Using Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation, an international team of researchers has observed a hint of new physics. The team developed a new method to measure the polarizatio… ...

In a breakthrough for the field of particle physics, researchers have established new limits on what scientists call "long-range spin-spin interactions" between atomic particles. These ...

We live in a polarized world. No, we aren't talking about politics -- we're talking about light. Much of the light we see and use is partially polarized, meaning its electric field vibrates in ...

How do polarized lenses work? Light travels in a waveform, and oscillates like waves: side by side, and up and down. Sunlight comes in a so-called unpolarized way, meaning it oscillates in all ...

Event Horizon Telescope captures new view of black hole in polarized light It should yield insight into how black holes gobble up matter and emit powerful jets.

We live in a polarized world. No, we aren't talking about politics -- we're talking about light. Much of the light we see and use is partially polarized, meaning its electric field vibrates in ...
