Fig. 1 (a) Schematic of a PM that consists of two nanobeam cavities. (b) Normalized profile of the electric field (Ex at left and Ey at right) for the S and AS mode Polarization is an intrinsic ...

Scientists at Heriot‑Watt University have demonstrated in a world-first, that light can be used to control every aspect of how electromagnetic waves oscillate, opening new technological frontiers.

Bond polarity is all about how atoms share electrons—and when that sharing isn’t equal, fascinating things happen. From electronegativity differences to molecular geometry, these factors decide ...

In organic optoelectronic devices, the control of molecular deposition on thin films is important for optimal surface arrangement and device performance. In a recent study, researchers developed a new ...

Molecular polarity and intermolecular forces explain why substances dissolve, boil, or stick together the way they do. From the shape of a molecule to the pull of its atoms, polarity determines ...

A device produces green light while a researcher in lab gear stands in the background. This OLED device, which is held by a mechanical support, is producing circularly polarized light. Credit: ...

Organic optoelectronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), use molecules with specific structures arranged on thin films. Additionally, the arrangement of these molecules on any ...
