That could be detected by looking for a particular pattern
of polarized light in the cosmic microwave background, known as B - mode polarization.
Eyes Genes involved in eye development might help the butterflies detect fine changes in the sun's position, as well as
patterns of polarized light.
But the researchers have demonstrated experimentally that their setup — which includes lasers to feed
beams of polarized light into a network of optical fibers, beam - splitters and other optical devices — gives results that agree closely with their predictions.
The researchers found that lookdown fish camouflage themselves through a complex manipulation
of polarized light after it strikes the fishes» skin.

backscattering of polarized light: Polarization ratios for a discrete random medium composed of nonspherical particles.
How do your account of the similarity of stress / strain of space caused by Big Bang & Black Hole and the
signal of polarized light pick up, is this from the Dying or Crying one.
Unlike conventional liquid crystals where electrical connections on the plates create the fields required to switch individual pixels from light to dark, optically rewritable LCDs coat the plates with special molecules that realign in the
presence of polarized light and switch the pixels.
By looking at the sky through such a crystal and then rotating it so the two images are equally bright, it's possible to spot the
rings of polarized light that surround the sun, even under cloudy skies.
Illustration of Kerr effect used to detect magnetization through the
rotation of polarized light when it interacts with electron spins in a material.
In the new study, the scientists were on a hunt for the
kind of polarized light spawned by matter in a process called gravitational lensing, where the gravitational pull from knots of matter distorts the path of light.
They had achieved an even larger laser amplification, by a factor of 10,000, when using weak measurements to detect a shift in a beam
of polarized light moving between air and glass.
Then we mimicked the light field when it's more complex, and the lookdown altered the
properties of the polarized light it was reflecting so that it would be a better blend into its specific background at different times of day.»
In 1841, he invented the polarimeter — a polariscope in front of which a glass slide or pile of glass slides can be inclined to determine the
proportion of polarized light.
Amino acids are optically active, which means that a
plane of polarized light will be rotated while passing through the substance.
While my doctorate provided the modern explanation for comets (covered in a dusty, insulating layer), the earlier work was an advance in the theoretical
treatment of polarized light passing through inhomogeneous, unevenly absorbing media... in other words, planetary atmospheres.
