Scientists have been unable to confirm the existence of time reflection due to the amount of energy required to create a ...

Researchers demonstrate a new technique for suppressing back reflections of light, leading to better signal quality for sensing and information technology. Researchers demonstrate a new technique for ...

Brightfield microscopy has been widely used for hundreds of years, while reflection contrast microscopy is relatively new technology. As one of the earliest and simplest microscopy techniques, ...

Light propagation is usually reciprocal meaning that the trajectory of light travelling in one direction is identical from that in the opposite direction. Breaking reciprocity can make light propagate ...

A mother and daughter's realization of the different reflection produced by a mirror, despite a visible item not being in front of the mirror, has left the internet confused. In a viral video, the ...

It was a dark and stormy night. (I've always wanted to start off with that line.) You were driving home from work. The rain had finally stopped, but the roads were wet and shiny, making it difficult ...

Light is often thought to reflect from a flat surface at the same angle at which it is incident. Nature Photonics spoke to Han Woerdman about the observation of angular deviations of reflected beams.

Funhouse mirrors help us learn about light and reflection. Mirrors are used for more than checking your face in the morning. Scientists have lots of uses for mirrors. Find out more about the different ...
