From the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and re-printed in R&D magazine Using two thin, tiny gold nanorods 10,000 times thinner than a human hair, researchers have succeeded in creating an adjustable filter for so-called circularly polarized light. The crucial factor for how the system absorbs light is the […]
