Imagine that plants could tell us exactly when they're stressed, infected, or being eaten by insects, by lighting up. A new ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about light refraction. Watch how light bends when it passes through ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong demonstrate negative light refraction with the natural magnetic material CrSBr – an alternative to metamaterials. Normally, when a light beam enters water or ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Early carbon light bulbs may have produced graphene, since applying voltage to carbon filaments mirrors what is now called flash Joule heating. Graphene is a transparent, remarkably strong substance, ...

Abstract: Due to the advantages of high measurement accuracy and good robustness, structured light vision (SLV) methods have been extensively applied for 3-D reconstruction in air and water scene.

We study the analog of Snell's law for particles moving across the interface of two regions with two different potential energies, from two different points of view. First, a simple demonstration ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways.

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that had long ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...
