Researchers from ICMAB are revolutionizing how we manipulate light at the nanoscale using chiral plasmonic structures—nanomaterials designed to interact with polarized light in extraordinary ways.

Imagine trying to wear a left-handed glove on your right hand: It doesn't fit because left and right hands are mirror images that can't be superimposed on each other. This "handedness" is what ...

Cost-effective chiral nanostructures enable precise light control at the nanoscale, advancing applications in sensing, imaging, and emerging quantum technologies. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from ...

Light can carry angular momentum in two distinct ways. One comes from polarization, which describes how the electric field rotates. The other comes from the shape of the wavefront itself, which can ...

A terahertz platform built on an achiral gradient metasurface resolves the components, handedness, and mixing ratios of chiral biomolecule mixtures in a single broadband measurement. (Nanowerk ...
