When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about light refraction. Watch how light bends when it passes ...

Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide have a starring role in what could become a hit for 3D displays, virtual reality and even self-driving vehicles. Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide ...

Horiba has developed a particle size distribution measuring device that accurately measures particle size distribution even in the presence of similar-shaped particles. The device uses image ...

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 ...

A team of scientists led by Academician Professor Xiang Zhang, President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong ...

IN preparing an elementary lecture on Light, intended to be given at the Taunton College School, I have had to consider how best to explain the somewhat abstruse principle of optical refraction. It is ...

Guy Bartal, from the light refraction lab at Berkeley, talks with Scott Simon about the research they're doing on "invisible cloaks." Bartal overseas research in this lab, and is a co-author of two ...
