Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s ...

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.

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, ...

A team of researchers studying the uncertainties associated with a phenomenon known as cosmic birefringence has developed a method to reduce uncertainties in its observational measurements, according ...

An obscure optical effect that had faded from view for more than a century suddenly has become a hot topic for microelectronics producers. New studies show that this effect, called intrinsic ...

A weird quantum effect may have just been observed for the first time in the polarised light of empty space around neutron star. The effect, known as vacuum birefringence, was first predicted by ...

A strange quantum phenomenon predicted more than 80 years ago finally may have been observed in nature. In 1930, physicists Werner Heisenberg and Hans Heinrich Euler predicted that very strong ...

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 ...
