In this work, an alternative formulation of the laws of refraction of light is presented. The proposed formulation unifies the two established laws of refraction, and it is shown the correspondence ...

The phenomena of reflection and refraction of plane waves incident obliquely at a plane interface between uniform elastic solid half-space and porous solid containing liquid filled bound pores and two ...

This work achieves the refraction and reflection of flexoelectric-induced directrons at interfaces. With identical physical properties of the media on both sides of the interface, as well as uniform ...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Sunrise is a special camp that truly lives up to its name - a ray of light that rises out of the darkness. It's free summer camp where kids get to do typical camp stuff like ...

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most revolutionary and impactful. During Brazil's energy crisis in 2002, mechanic Alfredo Moser developed an accessible and effective way to illuminate indoor ...

When light passes through a material, the spatial arrangement of the material’s atoms can cause the light to undergo reflection, refraction, dispersion, or diffusion. Researchers from Heriot-Watt ...

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 ...

Scientists have long sought to control light in ways that appear to defy the laws of Nature Credit: Lancaster University Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

Snell's Law relates the sines of the angles of incidence and transmission to the refractive indices of each medium at the boundary. It applies to all materials across all phases of matter, with angles ...
