Revolutionary ultra-thin meta-lens enables full-color imaging

Technology
Light of various colors goes at various speeds in various materials and structures. This is the reason we see white light split into its...
In a milestone for earthquake forecasting, researchers report that their physics-based model of California earthquake hazards replicated estimates from the state’s leading statistical model. In the above radar image, a section of California’s San Andreas fault can be seen below the Crystal Springs Reservoir (in black), with San Francisco (in pink) to the east.
