A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends ...

Scientists have theoretically predicted that light can be bent under pseudogravity. A recent study by researchers using photonic crystals has demonstrated this phenomenon. This breakthrough has ...

Did you know that gravity bends light? In 1916, Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity. And British astronomer Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington proved the truth of Einstein’s work with ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

A group of researchers worked together to modify light’s behavior as though it were under the effect of gravity. The discoveries, published on September 28th, 2023, in the journal Physical Review A, ...

Scientists in Japan have managed to manipulate light as though it was being influenced by gravity. By carefully distorting a photonic crystal, the team was able to invoke “pseudogravity” to bend a ...

Scientists uncovered hidden geometry that distorts electron paths like gravity bends light, advancing quantum materials for faster data and lossless conduction. (Nanowerk News) How can data be ...

Highland Center for the Arts Media Art Xploration (MAX) presents “When Light Bends,” conceived by Kay Matschullat play with music written by Grace Leavitt and John Lopez and composer Tamar Maskal, at ...

A conceptual image of the distorted photonic crystal and photonic crystal. A collaborative group of researchers has manipulated the behavior of light as if it were under the influence of gravity. The ...
