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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A rainbow, as every schoolboy knows, is formed by the refraction (bending) of sunlight by raindrops. Optical engineers have known for some time that an artificial rainbow can be produced by passing ...

Metamaterials have amazing potential -- think invisibility cloaks and perfect lenses -- but they are more likely to be found in a Harry Potter novel than a lab. To help bring them closer to reality, ...

Ultrasound scans could soon be much more detailed, thanks to a novel material that can bend sound waves the “wrong” way. This property, known as negative refraction, means the material should bring ...

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 ...

ULTRASOUND scans could soon be much more detailed, thanks to a novel material that can bend sound waves the “wrong” way. This property, known as negative refraction, means the material should bring ...

Black holes have a reputation for voraciously eating everything in their immediate neighborhood, but these large gravity wells also affect electromagnetic radiation and may hinder our ability to ever ...
