Circularly polarized light is a special form of light that travels while rotating like a pinwheel to the left or right. Because different rotation directions can carry different information, it is drawing attention as a key light source for next-generation displays, optical communications and security technologies.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-14T18:40:04+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-14T19:00:16.634158+00:00"}}
