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 ...

In Viet Nam, an Army photographer shoots sharp reconnaissance pictures despite the vibration of his small observation plane. From a shaky and make shift platform in Washington, a TV camera crew gives ...

Light usually travels in straight lines, but what if it could twist, spiral, and ...

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 ...

Photonic crystal waveguides come in two forms: continuous line defect waveguides and coupled-defect cavity waveguides. In the first variety, a missing line of rods in the photonic crystal defines the ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has demonstrated solid-state optical phased array technology in a microchip, bringing the ability to bend light to the battlefront. Share on ...

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 ...

Scientists in Japan have managed to manipulate light as though it was being influenced by gravity. By carefully distorting a photonic crystal, the team was able to invoke “pseudogravity” to bend a ...
