A rare Jupiter-sized planet AT2021uey b was found 3,200 light-years away using microlensing, a method based on Einstein's ...

Light entering a medium with a negative index of refraction, on the contrary, would bend backward, creating unexpected optical effects, such as a straw appearing to lean the wrong way.

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

The ring of light surrounding the centre of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA’s Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens ...

For example, the arc near galaxy cluster Abell 370 was first believed to be a trillion-mile-long object until researchers realized it was an illusion created by lensing.

For his previous book, photographer Eric Meola invited the viewer to witness the power of storms. Fierce Beauty documented Meola's long-held passion for extreme weather conditions and its ...

Lenses are the most widely used optical devices. Camera lenses or objectives, for example, produce a sharp photo or video by directing light at a focal point. The speed of evolution in the field ...

Some examples of rule-bender language include “develops creative and innovative solutions to problems,” “communicates in a tactical and persuasive manner,” and “thinks outside the box.” ...

Water versus air, for example. That density can refract or bend light rays (among other things) and shape a number of things (or at least the way we see them). A perfect example of this is the way ...
