This work achieves the refraction and reflection of flexoelectric-induced directrons at interfaces. With identical physical properties of the media on both sides of the interface, as well as uniform ...

Light absorption at high temperatures is highly impacted by interband absorption in addition to intraband absorption When light interacts with a surface, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most revolutionary and impactful. During Brazil's energy crisis in 2002, mechanic Alfredo Moser developed an accessible and effective way to illuminate indoor ...

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 light ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

The feature debuted as a tech demo last year, but is now available through Adobe’s Camera Raw tool. The feature debuted as a tech demo last year, but is now available through Adobe’s Camera Raw tool.

Abstract: Polarization navigation is an emerging autonomous navigation technology suitable for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Nonetheless, light refraction poses challenges for underwater ...
