Material Modification of Borofloat 33 During Scanning‐Based Microforming Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.
Possibilities for ablation‐free microforming of borosilicate glass using ultrashort laser pulses are presented. Depending on the laser parameters and scanning strategy, surface structures with profile heights of up to 20 µm could be produced. The work provides a comprehensive experimental and analytical characterization of the microforming process ...

POLARIX: a pathfinder mission of X-ray polarimetry

open access: yes, 2010
Since the birth of X-ray astronomy, spectral, spatial and timing observation improved dramatically, procuring a wealth of information on the majority of the classes of the celestial sources. Polarimetry, instead, remained basically unprobed.

Engineering Asymmetry: How Chirality Boosts Catalysis, Spin Selectivity, and Light–Matter Interactions

open access: yesChemPhotoChem, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review connects chiroptical spectroscopy, asymmetric catalysis, and spintronics, revealing how chirality influences the interactions of matter with light, charge, and spin. Across diverse systems, remarkable chiroptical effects emerge, showing among others that high efficiencies can arise without absolute enantiopurity, and that functionality is ...

Observations of Low and Intermediate Spectral Peak Blazars with the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present X-ray polarimetry observations from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of three low spectral peak and one intermediate spectral peak blazars, namely 3C 273, 3C 279, 3C 454.3, and S5 0716+714.

Engineering Chiroptical Interactions through Integrating Plasmonic Arrays with Cholesteric Nanocellulose

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.
In this study, we demonstrate how the combination of plant‐based cellulose and gold nanoparticle lines produces robust, tunable chiral light control in composite films. The resulting plasmonic cellulose composite exhibits a strong plasmonic CD at the surface lattice resonance, along with an inversion of chiroptical response upon reversing the ...

Reinforcement Learning Enabled Nanophotonic Devices

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
A reinforcement learning algorithm is used to design photonic devices. The method creates metagratings and grating couplers that efficiently control both the direction and polarization of light. Further, a reinforcement learning approach is used to design in‐plane integrated photonic devices. This approach paves the way for advanced photonic components
