GRAND RAPIDS — Every day we see and use light for numerous daily functions, but did you know you can actually bend light? Its called refraction and our experiment today is going to show you how its ...

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 ...

Nearly a decade after getting waves of light to bend backward, physicists have done the same with electrons. Electrons coursing through a sheet of carbon atoms exhibited negative refraction, bending ...

From ribosomes assembling proteins to viruses attacking cells, the main dramas in biology happen on a scale that is, tantalizingly, just one order of magnitude below the resolution of the best optical ...

Researchers are making progress toward a “perfect lens” that will be able to resolve an organelle assembling a protein or a virus attacking a cell. From ribosomes assembling proteins to viruses ...
