Metamaterials enable real-life invisibility technology, bending light around objects and offering applications in military, surveillance, and conservation.

I'm currently writing a textbook on Electromagnetic Waves for my graduate optics students. I was reading up on zero refractive index materials for a chapter section and thought it would be fun to write a popularized account of their fascinating and counterintuitive properties! The past two decades have been a fascinating time to be an…

Light can be reflected not only in space but also in time—and researchers exploring such “time reflections” are finding a wealth of delightfully odd and useful effects
