What do astrophysics, telecommunications and pharmacology have in common? Each of these fields relies on polarimeters — instruments that detect the direction of the oscillation of electromagnetic waves, otherwise known as the polarization of light. Even though the human eye isn’t particularly sensitive to polarization, it is a fundamental property of light. When light is […]
