Sentences with phrase «on polarized light»

Astronomers had hoped the unique B - mode polarization signature from the early cosmos would allow them to effective «see» portions of the universe that are invisible to optical telescopes as gravity from denser portions of the universe tug on the polarized light, slightly deflecting its passage through the cosmos during its 13.8 billion year trip to Earth.

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.
Just as light waves can be polarized horizontally or vertically depending on which way the electromagnetic field in them jiggles, gravitational waves can be polarized in two ways, according to general relativity, Will says.
MASTER - IAC gathered critical data on the proportion of polarized optical light relative to the total light produced by the prompt phase.
The hologram operates with circularly polarized light, and the information is encoded on to the light beam by the varied angles of the skyscrapers.
His research group was studying how the beetles used the polarized light patterns of the moon to stay on their paths, when one moonless night they made a surprising observation — the beetles maintained straight trajectories.
But dust in the Milky Way also emits polarized light that can have the same curlicue pattern imprinted on it.
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.
Since astronomers don't know much about how strongly galactic dust polarizes light, researchers involved in the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization, or BICEP, experiment relied on whatever information they could get their hands on.
Flauger's analysis — which relies on scraping data from other Planck slides — found that BICEP researchers may have underestimated how strongly dust polarized the light.

Kotov and his colleagues shined circularly polarized light on particles of cadmium telluride in a solution.
Because electrons scatter polarized light more than non-polarized light, that observation will give the scientists a bead on what the electrons are doing, and by extension, what the solar wind is doing — how fast it flows, how hot it is and even where it comes from.
On September 12, a regional EPA office volunteered to send 30 to 40 electron microscopes to Ground Zero to test bulk dust samples for the presence of asbestos fibers, according to EPA whistle - blower Cate Jenkins, yet the local EPA office declined the offer, opting for the less effective polarized light microscopy testing method instead.
Counterclockwise polarized light, on the other hand, produces a minimal amount of blue light because the polarization tends to push the electrons outward so that the waves from all around the nano - spiral interfere destructively.
When a beam of light is focused on a polystyrene bead, the bead becomes polarized and is attracted to the field of the light beam.
By instead applying polarized light (light waves that vibrate on one plane) in a process the researchers coined Oosight, the eggs stayed healthy, allowing the scientists to finally clone the rhesus monkey embryos [source: BBC].
