Why mirrors seem to reverse left and right but not up and down
Why, in a mirror, is the writing on your t-shirt backwards but your head and feet where they belong? The puzzle of why ...
The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...
By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...
Abstract: The intelligent omni-surface (IOS) is a dynamic metasurface that has recently been proposed to achieve full-dimensional communications by realizing the dual function of anomalous reflection ...
Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Whilst we are all in shock, and deeply sad, we are not surprised. We feared and suspected that this moment was coming. And whilst a ...
Abstract: The development of metasurfaces has unlocked various use cases in wireless communication networks to improve performance by manipulating the propagation environment. Intelligent omni-surface ...
If you’ve ever left a lecture thinking “That didn’t land the way I hoped” (or “That went surprisingly well – why?”), you’ve already stepped into ...
The following is an excerpt from “It’s Not Magic: The Ordinary Skills of Exceptional Leaders,” by John Amaechi (Wiley, Sept. 23, 2025). I regularly, and as gently as possible, challenge people on how ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: We only have three photos of Taylor Swift’s engagement ring so far—and only one close-up—but it already looks different from photo to photo.
There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...
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 ...
