In a landmark achievement, astronomers have noticed light bending in an unexpected manner, one that doesn’t align with the predictions made by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This ...

Imagine a clock where the colors aren’t from LEDs but a physics phenomenon – polarization. That’s just what [Mosivers], a physicist and electronics enthusiast, has done with the Polarizer Clock. It’s ...

'Light-bending' material that controls blue and ultraviolet light could transform advanced chipmaking by Delft University of Technology edited by Stephanie Baum, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Light has always been the ultimate tool for etching information into silicon, but a new class of materials that can bend and reshape that light at will is starting to look like the missing ingredient ...

A team of astronomers has discovered one of the biggest black holes ever found, taking advantage of a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. The team, led by Durham University, UK, used ...

When it comes to making predictions, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity is pretty much unbeatable, at least in physics. The theory says that objects of mass “warp” the very fabric of ...

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 ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has demonstrated solid-state optical phased array technology in a microchip, bringing the ability to bend light to the battlefront. Share on ...

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 ...
