GRAND RAPIDS — Every day we see and use light for numerous daily functions, but did you know you can actually bend light? Its called refraction and our experiment today is going to show you how its ...

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Welcome back to Science Sunday! This week we're making a little magic happen by bending light. Here's Allison Bogart, a Kern County Teacher of the Year, with her ...

Chief meteorologist Mark Dixon takes a look at a little experiment with convection in Sept. 28's Science Sunday.

A U-rod in air transmits a laser beam like an optical fibre. When part of the rod is submerged in an index-matched mineral oil, the laser beam is no longer transmitted to the other end. Without ...

Physicists are involved in an unusually heated debate over the reality of a new kind of refraction and about the possibility of making perfect lenses. Edwin Cartlidge reports. If you think science is ...

When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Without light, we can't have sight. We see objects because of how light interacts with those objects, our eyes pick up that light, and our brains interpret it. This seems rather ...

Chief meteorologist Mark Dixon takes a look at a little experiment with convection in Sept. 28's Science Sunday.

THE experiments of Hill and Swallow 1 in August 1949 showed that the method of seismic refraction shooting at sea, which had been developed at Cambridge, was suitable for deep ocean work. Effort was ...

While physicists are fairly certain that the universe is full of dark matter, no-one has managed to make a direct observation of the mysterious stuff. The best astronomers can do is work out where the ...

Physicists at the University of California, San Diego who last year produced a new class of composite materials believed to reverse the behavior of many fundamental electromagnetic properties ...
