Welcome back to Science Sundays. This week we're making a little magic happen by bending light. Allison Bogart is a teacher of the year and works at Wonderful Prep College Academy in Delano. She ...

Sometimes when you look into a swimming pool it’s difficult to tell how deep the water actually is. If you grab something long, like a stick, you can use it to test the depth of the water. Upon ...

Guy Bartal, from the light refraction lab at Berkeley, talks with Scott Simon about the research they're doing on "invisible cloaks." Bartal overseas research in this lab, and is a co-author of two ...

A rainbow, as every schoolboy knows, is formed by the refraction (bending) of sunlight by raindrops. Optical engineers have known for some time that an artificial rainbow can be produced by passing ...
