Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic ...

The room overlooks the garden and I wanted to harness more natural light, and for the kitchen itself to be tranquil, minimal and in tune with my Edwardian house, but with top-spec gadgets as well.’ ...

As we spend increasingly more time indoors, it’s essential to consider how our built environments impact our physical health.

properties or function mimic those of natural materials or living matter. Examples of bioinspired materials are light-harvesting photonic materials that mimic photosynthesis, structural composites ...

Biophilic design, as it’s often referred to, marks a move toward creating sustainable, health-conscious, and nature-inspired ...

Scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral ...

The split floor plan can also help to improve access and natural light and increase both interior and exterior space. As one of the smallest spaces in the home, shower rooms often find it ...

Among the most sought-after properties of metamaterials is the negative index of refraction of light and other radiation. Negative refraction is based on the equations developed in 1861 by Scottish ...
