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 ...

In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction.

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control ...

This article was originally published with the title “Experiment on the Refraction and Dispersion of Light” in SA Supplements Vol. 29 No. 754supp (June 1890), p. 12050 doi:10.1038 ...

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 ...

In a mind-bending, and light-bending, discovery, scientists have produced a fun-house-like warping of light that defies existing laws of physics. For centuries, simple equations (taught every year ...

In this experiment, you can teach your kids about refraction which is the bending of light. When light moves through different, see-through (transparent) materials, it bends!

Various experiments illustrate the effects of diffraction, scattering, reflection, and refraction, showing how light can bend under certain conditions.

Light lets us see things, but did you know light can make things disappear, too? Meteorologist Ray Petelin has a simple experiment that shows this in action.

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. Known as “spacetime wave packets,” these lasers follow different rules of refraction ...
