Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

In modern photonic applications, such as the optical communications and AR/VR displays, on-demand multi-dimensional light control plays a crucial rule, including the modulation of wavelength, ...

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...
