The formation of a rainbow requires the observer to be between the sun and falling rain, with the rain in front and the sun behind. Sunlight passes from behind the observer, refracts as it enters each ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Light absorption at high temperatures is highly impacted by interband absorption in addition to intraband absorption When light interacts with a surface, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.

This work achieves the refraction and reflection of flexoelectric-induced directrons at interfaces. With identical physical properties of the media on both sides of the interface, as well as uniform ...

“Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Someday, we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me.” -- The Muppet Movie, 1979 Rainbows are ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

In the science fields, there’s an emphasis on “being objective.” Professionals are trained to make claims based exclusively on data. This approach translates over to the science classroom as well.

Reflection 70B is an open-source large language model (LLM) developed by HyperWrite. This new model introduces an approach to AI cognition that could reshape how we interact with and rely on AI ...
