A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...

What you think is a perfect reflection might be universe that is fundamentally different. When you look in mirror, and see what you think is a perfect reflection. You might be looking at universe ...

A mother and daughter's realization of the different reflection produced by a mirror, despite a visible item not being in front of the mirror, has left the internet confused. In a viral video, the ...

Two separate teams of scientists have built the thinnest mirrors in the world: sheets of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), each just a single atom wide. The mirrors were developed at the same time at ...

Cosmologists are increasingly entertaining a radical possibility: that the cosmos might fold back on itself so that, on the ...

The mirror-like physics of the superconductor-insulator transition operates exactly as expected. Scientists know this to be true following the observation of a remarkable phenomenon, the existence of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This article is more than 8 years old. When I woke up Sunday morning, ...

Although plasmas are generally considered as unstable and hardly controllable media, during an ultrashort laser pulse—typically below 100 fs—this plasma only expands by a small fraction of the light ...

Students use mirror equations to determine the position and type. Students use mirror equations to determine the position, type, and size of mirror images for curved mirrors mathematically. Optical ...
