When people look into a mirror, they see an image of themselves behind the glass. That image results from light rays encountering the shiny surface and bouncing back, or reflecting, providing a ...

Ever wonder how a mirror works? If you want to find the path that light takes when reflecting off a surface, you could use Fermat's Principle. This states something like this: The path that light ...

In this paper, we describe a novel concept for creating multicolor light reflectors by mimicking the surface structures of tiger beetle shells. We prepared dimpled and multilayered films containing ...
