Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking discovery: a material capable of bending light in unprecedented ways. This advancement opens up possibilities for innovations in optics, including superlenses ...

Well, OK, not exactly. A beam of light could pass through air all day long (as long as you have a layer of air 26 billion kilometers long) and not deviate a whit. But if the density of that air ...

Welcome back to Science Sundays. This week we're making a little magic happen by bending light. Allison Bogart is a teacher of the year and works at Wonderful Prep College Academy in Delano. She ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Every day we see and use light for numerous daily functions, but did you know you can actually bend light? Its called refraction and our experiment today is going to show you how its ...

A team of scientists led by Academician Professor Xiang Zhang, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and Chair of Engineering and Physics, has made a major breakthrough by ...

Nearly a decade after getting waves of light to bend backward, physicists have done the same with electrons. Electrons coursing through a sheet of carbon atoms exhibited negative refraction, bending ...

Sometimes when you look into a swimming pool it’s difficult to tell how deep the water actually is. If you grab something long, like a stick, you can use it to test the depth of the water. Upon ...

Negative refraction achieved at visible wavelengths. Can visible light ever be manipulated so that it bends the wrong way? If it could, a range of futuristic devices would be tantalizingly close to ...

(Phys.org) —Imagine that you are in a meeting with coworkers or at a gathering of friends. You pull out your cell phone to show a presentation or a video on YouTube. But you don't use the tiny screen; ...
