Tailoring the photon spin via light–matter interaction in liquid-crystal-based twisting structures

Photonics: light-matter interaction acts as magnetic field Liquid crystal based materials demonstrate spin-like phenomena (presumably in solid state systems), driven by light-matter interactions. A team led by Wei Hu and Yangqing Lu at Nanjing University and collaborators in Taiwan designed and made...
