Guy Bartal, from the light refraction lab at Berkeley, talks with Scott Simon about the research they're doing on "invisible cloaks." Bartal overseas research in this lab, and is a co-author of two ...

A rainbow, as every schoolboy knows, is formed by the refraction (bending) of sunlight by raindrops. Optical engineers have known for some time that an artificial rainbow can be produced by passing ...

Step into the hidden science lab in your kitchen with five easy experiments that explain refraction, surface tension, ...

Optics: Important Concepts 1) Refraction - bending of light when it passes from one medium to another (speed of light changes) - allows lenses to focus light 2) Dispersion - different colors get bent ...
