Scientists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, part of the Department of Energy, have uncovered novel properties in an ultrathin material that could revolutionize the way we handle light. This breakthrough is anticipated to benefit optoelectronic devices—those that sense, modulate, or produce light—as well as advance our understanding of light polarization within substances. These insights […]
