Only in Allentown. Only in Allentown could the creative spirits of the past and present come together to launch a public art project that involves the casting of light-refracting rainbow prisms onto ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about light refraction. Watch how light bends when it passes through ...

Sometimes when you look into a swimming pool it’s difficult to tell how deep the water actually is. If you grab something long, like a stick, you can use it to test the depth of the water. Upon ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

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 ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Rather than the “natural” radiance a typical highlighter imparts, holographic highlighters are shot through with light-refracting pigments that offer a three-dimensional glow: At one angle, that ...

Adam Sherwinski teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about light refraction. Watch how light bends when it passes through water in this fun and easy science experiment! In this video, we explore ...
