A mother and daughter's realization of the different reflection produced by a mirror, despite a visible item not being in front of the mirror, has left the internet confused. In a viral video, the ...

Light is often thought to reflect from a flat surface at the same angle at which it is incident. Nature Photonics spoke to Han Woerdman about the observation of angular deviations of reflected beams.

Funhouse mirrors help us learn about light and reflection. Mirrors are used for more than checking your face in the morning. Scientists have lots of uses for mirrors. Find out more about the different ...
