A property of a material that changes the speed of light, computed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light through the material. When light travels at an angle between two ...

Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close, and give negative-index materials a positive future Figure 1: Negative-index ...

I try not to write about optics too often because, well, I love optics, but no one else does. Unfortunately for you, I can’t resist the subject. If you turn over your cell phone, you will find the ...

Researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have announced the first on-chip metamaterial with a refractive index of zero — meaning the phase of light can ...

Researchers used ultrasonography, phakometry, keratometry, pachymetry, interferometry, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and high-resolution MRI on the right eyes of 91 adults, according ...
