Linear polarization holography
In conventional holography, the hologram is formed by recording the interference fringes of two coherent beams using a photosensitive material. The amplitude and phase information of the original signal wave can be reconstructed correctly when readin.....»»
Liquid crystal metasurface could enable multi-dimensional light field sensing
While conventional photodetectors can only measure light intensity, the light field contains much richer information. This information includes but is not limited to phase, polarization, and spectrum......»»
The origins of human society are more complex than we thought
In many popular accounts of human prehistory, civilization emerged in a linear fashion. Our ancestors started as Paleolithic hunter-gatherers living in small, nomadic and egalitarian bands. Later, they discovered farming and domesticated animals for.....»»
YouTube blurs the TV lines even further with Primetime Channels
Primetime Channels are coming to YouTube TV, further blurring the lines between linear and on-demand video......»»
Partisans willing to upend democracy to help their party win even when polarization is diminished
There has long been an assumption that a connection exists between affective polarization (i.e., partisan dislike of those in the other party) and anti-democratic attitudes. For that reason, policymakers and practitioners have focused on depolarizati.....»»
Researchers determine three-dimensional structure of PAPP-A
Danish researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of the proteolytic enzyme PAPP-A. The results may allow us to better understand the basic biology that regulates linear growth of vertebrates. The same regulatory mechanisms are also.....»»
Leaders in semiconductor in 2030 (7): Taiwan-Japan partnership in a new era
In the past, the supply chain was characterized by linear mass production; but in the future, it will move towards decentralized production systems catering to differentiated demands. The more complex the products, the more opportunities. Taiwan is s.....»»
Republican Party lost core supporters after attack on Capitol
The attack on the US Congress building in January 2021 was a violent manifestation of the deep political polarization in the US. Now Danish research shows that this attack caused even loyal party members to distance themselves from their party......»»

Compostable bioleather offers sustainable solutions for the clothing industry and beyond
Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, clothing production has been on an unsustainable path. Like most manufacturing, textiles are produced in a linear fashion with a cradle-to-grave model. Fabrics like cotton are farmed, worn, used, then thro.....»»
Sonic Frontiers early hands–on impressions: Oh no
Sonic Frontiers shows some of that classic promise in its linear levels, but the freeroam elements that took up the majority of our playtime feel slow and repetitive, made even worse with an awkward camera angle......»»
Differentiating right- and left-handed particles using the force exerted by light
Researchers investigated the polarization-dependence of the force exerted by circularly polarized light (CPL) by performing optical trapping of chiral nanoparticles. They found that left- and right-handed CPL exerted different strengths of the optica.....»»
Research team claims to have deciphered ancient Iranian Linear Elamite language
A team of researchers, with a member each from the University of Tehran, Eastern Kentucky University and the University of Bologna working with another independent researcher, has claimed to have deciphered most of the ancient Iranian language called.....»»
Top business execs more polarized than nation as whole
Nearly 70% of America's top executives are affiliated with the Republican Party and 31% with the Democrats, according to the recent paper "The Political Polarization of Corporate America," written by Elisabeth Kempf, associate professor of business a.....»»
Don"t be too quick to blame social media for America"s polarization. Cable news has a bigger effect, study finds
The past two election cycles have seen an explosion of attention given to "echo chambers," or communities where a narrow set of views makes people less likely to challenge their own opinions. Much of this concern has focused on the rise of social med.....»»
It’s not just social media: Cable news has bigger effect on polarization

MIT scientists create color-shifting films inspired by 19th-century holography
Potential applications include pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics. Real-time video capturing the stretching of an 8×6-inch structural color pattern that features a flower bouquet in homage to 19th-century p.....»»
Switch to a circular economy could protect the environment while generating more value
In 1924, a cartel of lightbulb manufacturers including General Electric and Philips agreed to artificially limit the lifespan of their products to about 1,000 hours, down from 2,500. The scandal, revealed decades later, came to epitomize the linear c.....»»
Light polarization creates art, explains mathematical concepts
The polarization of light underpins a variety of recent technological innovations, including 3D cinema and LCDs. In LCDs, tiny electronically controllable liquid crystal elements are sandwiched between polarizers. If, instead, other transparent polar.....»»
