Photonics is the study of the generation, detection, and manipulation of light waves in the form of photons. One interesting ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have created a groundbreaking technique that transforms 2D radio images into 3D ...

Roughly 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe cooled just enough to allow photons to escape from the primordial ...

This is how polarized sunglasses reduce glare ... Rather than consistently bending incoming light waves in the same way, as most materials do, birefringent materials bend those waves to different ...

We experience polarized light when we look at the glare from sunlight ... which rotates the direction of the radio polarized waves, depending on how much material they have passed through.

The human eye cannot recognize whether light is polarized (light which consists of waves that vibrate only in one place), but the effects of polarization can be observed using polarizing filters.
