This record-breaking crystal can transform from mirror-like to glass-like, opening the door to tiny optical chips, AR ...

This walkthrough details how to complete the Uninvited mission in 007: First Light, including how to find all Opportunities ...

Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

Opening moments of games can often feel long and slow, and may even be boring as the game must teach you how to play it first thing. They’re a necessary evil, but there's a new high bar, as the new ...

Processes in the X-ray interferometer: The path of a single photon (pink) passes through two slits simultaneously and spreads out behind them into a characteristic “interference pattern”. This pattern ...

For the first time, researchers have detected empty voids moving faster than the speed of light — and they blazed past that cosmic speed limit without breaking the laws of relativity. A recent study ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Although people often say nothing travels faster than the speed of light, this cosmic speed limit only pertains to particles with information or mass ...

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, ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways. MS NOW host details unexpected phone ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...
