Stokes‐Based 3D Polarimetric Analysis of Dipolar Near‐Fields

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Characterizing the near‐field polarization of dipolar emitters is of growing importance in nanophotonics, since many subwavelength systems resemble their emission. In this work, we apply the 3D Stokes formalism and its intrinsic reference frame to analyze the polarization properties of various dipole emitters from the near‐ to the far‐field, allowing a

A Comparative Study of the Influence of Water and Temperature on the Racemization of Five‐ and Six‐Membered l‐Alanine‐Derived Imides

Chirality, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2026.
Racemization of chiral imides in dimethylformamide is shown to increase with increasing water content and temperature. The six‐membered imide ring system is more stable than the five‐membered analogue, with slower racemization under identical conditions and an absence of competing side reactions.

Full Vectorial Field Sensing Using Liquid Crystal Droplet Arrays

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
An inkjet‐printed liquid crystal droplet array enables compact, low‐cost, single‐shot sensing of the full vectorial light field. Within a single platform, it simultaneously retrieves intensity, polarization, and phase, while dual‐wavelength operation highlights its capability for multi‐wavelength optical field characterization. ABSTRACT Determining the

X-Ray Polarimetry as a Tool to Constrain Orbital Parameters in X-Ray Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal
X-ray binary systems consist of a companion star and a compact object in close orbit. Thanks to their copious X-ray emission, these objects have been studied in detail using X-ray spectroscopy and timing.

2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 44, 1 June 2026.
2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.
