New research shows how bees use polarized light and a special eye region to navigate reliably, even under clouds or obstacles ...

EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials emit polarized light over time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci ...

As the sun goes down outside of Sydney, Australia, bull ants march out of their nests and into the trees. Once there, the ants attack other insects and arthropods, as well as collect tree sap and ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light. Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers ...

A Murdoch University researcher in Australia has determined that large-scale solar farms affect migratory routes of wildlife due to polarized light pollution, but this could be improved with ...

Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, polarization is key for future ...
