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 ...

Light bends when travelling through a concentration gradient of sugar in water. The top layer of liquid is pure water while the bottom layer is concentrated sugar water. In these layers, there is no ...

Graphene and negative refractive-index materials are two of the hottest topics in physics -- but one might not think they have much in common. Now, however, physicists in the UK and US have proposed ...

Two physicists in China have shown that it should be possible to observe negative refraction with sound waves. Xiangdong Zhang of Beijing Normal University and Zhengyou Liu of Wuhan University have ...
