Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

Researchers discovered that light can cause evaporation of water from a surface without the need for heat. This 'photomolecular effect' could be important for understanding climate change and for ...

In the past few years, scientists have found ways to make light go both faster and slower than its usual speed limit, but now researchers at the University of Rochester are publishing a paper on May ...

A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with the aim of making graphene, rather than light. They succeeded, and they ...

Green light means “go.” That might apply to evaporating water molecules too. Visible light, especially that of a greenish hue, might spur water to evaporate, researchers report in the Nov. 7 ...

Among the first experiments at the National Synchrotron Light Source II--NSLS-II, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE's Brookhaven National ...

Biologist Brian Gall was flinging stowaway spiders out of his kayak when he noticed an interesting pattern: After landing on the water’s surface, the arachnids quickly darted to the nearest shoreline, ...

Early carbon light bulbs may have produced graphene, since applying voltage to carbon filaments mirrors what is now called flash Joule heating. Graphene is a transparent, remarkably strong substance, ...

SCHERERVILLE -- You could see the children's eyes light up Tuesday as they walked around and talked among themselves about the Physics Festival at Watson School. The Physics Educational Activities, ...
