In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in controlled lab simulations. This finding challenges our current understanding of ...

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 ...

You won’t believe your eyes with this week’s experiment! It is all about light! Light can behave in different ways; it can reflect, refract, or be absorbed. In this experiment, you can teach your kids ...

We can bend light around corners. I know it sounds crazy, and it looks crazy when you see it in action for the first time. But, the advancements that this new technique could help usher in are ...

Scientists think that they’ve spotted a black hole’s gravity bending light emitted from the disk of matter around it right back toward the black hole, according to a new paper. Black holes are ...

Suppliers are developing halogen bending lights to extend adaptive lighting into mass-market cars because xenon technology isn't getting cheaper. Halogen bending lights are a middle ground between ...

(Nanowerk News) Optical cloaking allows objects to be hidden in plain sight or to become invisible by guiding light around anything placed inside the cloak. While cloaking has been popularized in ...

Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as ...

The intense gravity from extra-bright galaxies with huge black holes at their cores is bending light to create cosmic magnifying glasses, astronomers say. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers ...

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 ...
