Optical rotation is a fundamental phenomenon observed when plane-polarised light traverses chiral media. This intrinsic property of chiral molecules renders them capable of rotating the plane of ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The controlled rotation of micro- and nanoscale objects plays a crucial role in sensing, imaging, biomedicine, and manufacturing. Micro- and nanorotors have proved effective in ...
