Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking material capable of bending light in such a way that it renders objects invisible. This technological marvel draws upon advanced concepts in metamaterials, ...

Of all the sciences, physics is unique in that it can come to a broad consensus with math alone—very little tactile evidence required. Never has this been the case more than with dark matter. Though ...

The lecture hall at UC San Diego’s Price Center was full Wednesday with an audience eager to hear about devices that can bend light and sound waves to change what we can see and hear — and perhaps ...

Astronomy is, in essence, an exercise in inference. We cannot touch the stars, nor scoop up galaxies in a lab. Instead, we decipher the universe through its light — its color, intensity, rhythm and ...

A team of scientists has developed a powerful new way to detect subtle magnetic signals in common metals like copper, gold, and aluminium—using nothing more than light and a clever technique. Their ...

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 ...
