You won’t believe your eyes with this week’s experiment! It is all about light! Light can behave in different ways; it can reflect, refract, or be absorbed. In this experiment, you can teach your kids ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The DESY accelerator facility in Hamburg, Germany, goes on for miles to host a particle making kilometer-long laps at almost the speed of light. Now researchers have shrunk such ...

An ultra-massive black hole has been uncovered using gravitational light bending, something theorized by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. A team of astronomers have used a bent ...

In a mind-bending, and light-bending, discovery, scientists have produced a fun-house-like warping of light that defies existing laws of physics. For centuries, simple equations (taught every year to ...

Well, OK, not exactly. A beam of light could pass through air all day long (as long as you have a layer of air 26 billion kilometers long) and not deviate a whit. But if the density of that air ...

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 ...

The perfect circle surrounding a galaxy cluster in a new Hubble Space Telescope image is a visual indicator of the huge masses that are bending time and space in that region. The galaxy cluster, ...

July 30 (UPI) --Electrical engineers at UCLA have used a new light-bending technique to convert the wavelengths of light, a breakthrough that could boost the performance of many optical technologies.

NASA has released a new animation of a black hole that shows how gravity can skew light, distorting how humans see it. The agency compared it to looking in a "carnival mirror." A black hole's gravity ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in controlled lab simulations. This finding challenges our current understanding of ...
