From the Earth to the Moon to Mars, human beings have never stopped exploring for treasures. From Iceland spar to quartz to amethysts, the optical phenomena presented by these sparkling and clear ores have inspired scientists to make persistent efforts to reveal “what is light” and “the origin of chirality” throughout the history of science. This has contributed to the advancement of science, technology, and modern society, and will continue to have an immeasurable impact on the future of science and technology.
