An unexpected discovery in a Harvard lab has led to a breakthrough insight into choosing an unconventional material, silica, ...

A property of a material that changes the speed of light, computed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light through the material. When light travels at an angle between two ...
