Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only ...

It is refraction that makes some objects appear to bend when they are viewed through water, like the straw shown here. If the light hits the surface of a glass block at an angle, this change in ...

Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes, e.g., from air into water or glass. Negative refraction, however, is a counterintuitive effect where light in a medium bends in the ...

In summary, equilux serves as both a scientific landmark and a prediction of the seasonal shift toward ...

Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only limited control of light waves. Metasurfaces, in contrast, are flat and ...
