Introduction Vision is the perception of light. To comprehend the nature of human vision, an understanding of the properties of light is necessary. Many of the technologies used for examining the ...

Sketch of the concept: a disordered medium (top) is made perfectly transmitting by placing a custom-made anti-reflection coating in front of it (bottom). (Courtesy: TU Wien) A new technique that ...

This type of reflection produces a polarized evanescent wave – a light wave that exists only near a surface, unlike an ordinary, free light wave – and McCarthy and colleagues were able to tune its ...

It’s to do with differential reflection – which colours are absorbed, and which are reflected.In the studio, Jon makes white light by mixing different colours.

Researchers cracked the mystery of altermagnets, materials with no net magnetization yet strange light-reflecting powers, by ...

Learn about and revise reflection, including specular and diffuse reflections, and refraction of light waves with GCSE Bitesize Physics.

Scientists made light cross through gaps not in space, but time. The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature Physics, could lead to new, unusual ways to control light.

Scientists have identified the altermagnetic properties of an organic crystal using a new optical approach, uncovering unique magnetic features and opening possibilities for next-generation magnetic ...

What happens to your image if you bend a spoon from concave to convex?

Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the classic double-slit experiment—this time in the dimension of time. Led by ...
