Trends in polymer research by SciTech Book News Byline: ANI Washington, Jan 25 (ANI): A team of physicists and engineers has demonstrated an 'entanglement' filter, an optical device that filters two particles of light (or photons) based on the correlations between their polarization, which brings scientists a step closer to quantum technologies. Quantum technologies move a step closer with demonstration of ... by Asian News International A kind of pi-conjugated molecule, beta-carotene is considered a successful candidate for next-generation optical device materials.
