Physicists are involved in an unusually heated debate over the reality of a new kind of refraction and about the possibility of making perfect lenses. Edwin Cartlidge reports. If you think science is ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

Physicists in the US have demonstrated negative refraction at optical wavelengths for the first time. Vladimir Shalaev and colleagues at Purdue University obtained the result in a material consisting ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...

Refraction is explained by looking into a pool and seeing Snell's law in action. Unit 6 Segment M: Refraction Refraction is explained by looking into a pool and seeing Snell's law in action. We also ...
