Scientists have demonstrated how to manipulate light by using time-varying media in the form of specialized nanomaterials.

Negative refraction—a phenomenon where light bends in the opposite direction to its usual behavior—has captivated researchers for its potential to revolutionize optics, enabling transformative ...

The index of refraction of air decreases sharply from shorter visible wavelengths to near‐infrared wavelengths. Therefore, because the adaptive optics system is measuring the wave front distortion in ...

The direction of the ray may also change. This property of waves is called refraction and commonly occurs with light rays. A normal is a dotted line drawn perpendicular to the surface of the ...
