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 ...

Citizen science project uses Euclid telescope data to find gravitational lenses. Public helps identify light-bending galaxies ...

New ‘gravity mapping’ hardware could lead to new submarine navigation, ground-penetrating geological sensors, and aerial ...

Refraction—the bending of light as it passes through different media—has long been constrained by physical laws that prevent independent control over how light waves along different directions bend.

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 ...

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 theoretically predicted that light can be bent under pseudogravity. A recent study by researchers using photonic crystals has demonstrated this phenomenon. This breakthrough has ...

Conventional sensors convert physical phenomena (such as temperature, load, pressure, and strain) into electricity, which is then conditioned, sampled, and scaled to the required physical values.

Electrical engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have developed a more efficient way of converting light from one wavelength to another, which they say will "open the door for ...
