What is it about?
The work combines the physical phenomenon of forced girobirefringence with Cosserat's mechanics. The physical basis of the optical measurement was obtained using quantum mechanics for optically active electrons. Finally, the method of measuring the components of the couple stress is presented by measuring the rotation of azimuth of the polarization of light passing through the material.

Why is it important?
The work describes a new physical phenomenon: forced rotary birefringence. This phenomenon related to the Cosserat Mechanics, gives a new method of Experimental Mechanics. The description at the atomic scale expands the theory of atomic interactions with new parameters such as moment interaction and polar atomic rotation not taken into account so far.
Perspectives
The development of Experimental Mechanics. The development of the theory of molecular interactions. The planning of new research stations and new ways of interpreting phenomena in mechanics and optics.
