Scientists at Heriot‑Watt University have demonstrated in a world-first, that light can be used to control every aspect of how electromagnetic waves oscillate, opening new technological frontiers. Researchers working in photonics, the science of light, have discovered a new way to control "polarization," a key property of light that plays a crucial role in the performance of technologies such as drug development and quantum computers.
