This video explains why a wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another, in a process called refraction. The change in direction of a refracted wave can be drawn using a ray diagram ...

Researchers have developed a new type of laser beam that doesn't follow long-held principles about how light refracts and travels. The findings could have huge implications for optical communication ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...
