The measurements made by CLASS have to do with "microwave polarization," associated with the direction in which waves of light are aligned. These measurements will help scientists filter a ...

For its own part, geographic polarization is well documented. The New York Times reported an analysis of post-2020 presidential election voter registration records that demonstrates public ...

Researchers develop a nanoscale optical device that processes light differently based on direction and polarization, creating ...

An international team, led by Tongji University and Beijing Institute of Technology, together with University of Oviedo, demonstrates the possibility of converting linear incident polarization to any ...

The discovery of primordial gravitational waves through cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization B-modes remains one of the most significant objectives in cosmology, as it would provide the ...
