In a landmark achievement, astronomers have noticed light bending in an unexpected manner, one that doesn’t align with the predictions made by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This ...

With ultraviolet light being the workhorse of advanced chipmaking, high-resolution microscopy and next-generation optical communication technologies, improving the on-chip control over such light is ...

Metamaterials are materials engineered to bend light in ways nature never intended. From invisibility cloaks to seeing through objects, David R. Smith’s research shows how metamaterials are changing ...

Scientists have discovered a technique whereby light can be bent around corners, inspired by the way clouds scatter sunlight. This type of light-bending could lead to advances in medical imaging, ...

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 ...
