Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

The subatomic particles are incredibly numerous. About 1,000 neutrinos from stars other than the sun pass through a thumbnail every second.

Octopus and other cephalopods are good at hiding themselves—and are inspiring cutting-edge technologies that may help us do ...

Abstract: Considering that the atmospheric refraction and aberration of light (AOL) bend the path of light and thus affect the geolocation accuracy, a rigorous imaging geometric model with corrections ...

In this video, I demonstrate a fun science trick using a simple arrow, a glass, and water. Watch how the arrow magically flips direction when seen through the glass of water—a perfect example of ...

Abstract: Owing to the effects of atmospheric refraction, the path of light propagation is bent, making the three-point collinear principle inapplicable and influencing the geometric accuracy of ...

In this work, an alternative formulation of the laws of refraction of light is presented. The proposed formulation unifies the two established laws of refraction, and it is shown the correspondence ...

1905 is referred to as the “miracle year” by physicists. In that one year, Albert Einstein published four papers that laid the foundations of modern physics. One of the major breakthroughs proposed by ...
