Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research shows that when these plumes rise high into the atmosphere, they can spawn ...

Scientists confirm optical phase singularities move faster than light without breaking Einstein's rules, opening paths to ...

Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

Scientists experimentally confirmed what we’ve known to be true for half a century—darkness can “travel” faster than light.

Depending on where you are in Texas, you may see some orange skies over the next couple of days. And no, we're not talking about sunsets. In the Lone Star State, the sky can take on an orange or red ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

According to reports, DARPA has awarded Jung-Tsung Shen, associate professor in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering, with a two-year $1 million grant to construct what ...

The new approach to search for light dark matter introduced by this research team could soon be refined further and applied in real experiments. This recent study could also inspire other particle and ...

A snapshot of a computer simulation showing how energy density changes over time in the collision of a lead ion with a photon emitted by another lead ion. The world’s largest and most powerful ...

Team successfully exerted electrical control over polaritons, hybridized light-matter particles, at room temperature. A research team consisting of Professor Kyoung-Duck Park and Hyeongwoo Lee, an ...
