Simulations predicted that the dye would change the refraction index mismatch between lipids and water which normally causes the light scattering that creates the skin’s opaque appearance.

Refractive index refers to the way materials reflect, transmit, scatter and absorb light. The more one can control a material's refractive index, the more control you have over the light that ...

Biological condensates are small, membraneless organelles typically consisting of multiple proteins and nucleic acids within ...

Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close, and give negative-index materials a positive future Figure 1: Negative-index ...

Finding refractive index It turns out that there are ways to get something with a refractive index at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths.

Move over heavy goggles, here come the ultra-high refractive index lenses Date: February 16, 2021 Source: Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) Summary: A research team develops a ...

Physicists at Harvard University in the US have built a silicon waveguide that exhibits a refractive index of, or close to, zero when operating at near-infrared telecom wavelengths. The waveguide can ...

The researchers alternately laminated film of this high-refractive-index material and film of a low-refractive-index material to form a dielectric mirror1) and then used the mirror for magneto ...

Lens equatorial diameter significantly decreased with accommodation and increased with myopic refractive error, they reported.
