Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." ...

Uncover the Vetrite Neptune system by SICIS, merging decorative glass with safety and innovation in stunning architectural ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Now, carefully arranged arrays of atoms have brought these possibilities a step closer, achieving negative refraction without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials.

In such systems, light interacts with atoms in a controlled and precise manner, without the absorption losses that typically convert light into heat. These unique properties make atomic media a ...

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 ...

Two laser pointers were attached to the blackboard, and an elderly person demonstrated the effects of concave and convex lenses on light using both reading glasses and bifocals. This footage was ...

Snell’s window is one of the coolest phenomena in the natural world. You’ve seen it, but do you know what causes it?

If you're wondering how to get the Facet of Awakening in Destiny 2, we've got you covered. Here's what you need to know.

In this extract from the new book Beautiful Experiments: An Illustrated History of Experimental Science, science writer Philip Ball explains how Isaac Newton transformed our understanding of light.
