Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...
