Everyone knows that light travels in a straight line — right? A couple of years back, however, physicists discovered something very different for certain laser pulses that have one intense peak next ...

Using a combination of light-bending techniques, researchers have demonstrated a light beam that accelerates in a curved space. Light typically travels in a straight line, but physicists have found ...

Lenses appear in all sorts of everyday objects, from prescription eyeglasses to cell-phone cameras. Typically, lenses rely on a curved shape to bend and focus light. But in the tight spaces inside ...

When we set up a workstation, we tend to invest a lot of our money in buying the best desktop monitor. While this is nice, the perfect lighting conditions around the workstation are often overlooked.

LTS has taken a new, curvy approach to lighting and transformed Lichtkanal 060, moving away from a straight line towards a dynamic and organic shape. Lighting designer Martin Pannier is enthusiastic ...

LIGHT, which in everyday experience travels in straight beams, has been trapped on complex curved surfaces. The feat is not just a parlour trick – it could help people visualise how light travels in ...

Previously, accelerating light beams have been demonstrated on flat surfaces, on which their acceleration causes them to follow curved trajectories rather than straight lines. Extending accelerating ...
