With the help of the world's most powerful X-ray laser, a research team has achieved an important breakthrough: Using the example of the pharmaceutically active substance 2-thiouracil, they applied a ...

Refraction—the bending of light as it passes through different media—has long been constrained by physical laws that prevent independent control over how light waves along different directions bend.

Astrophysicists talk a lot about gravitational lensing, one of the more fun aspects of light’s infamous particle-wave duality. The phenomenon shows, in predictable and measurable ways, how the tiny ...

It's July, and that means it's "Phenomena Month" at the Orlando Science Center — a monthlong celebration of the science behind everyday (and not-so-everyday) occurrences. Today's goal: get the laser ...
