The time-flipped photon can’t be used to restage “Back to the Future,” but it could help us figure out some of the universe’s most mysterious phenomena.
A beam of light prevents itself from escaping, allowing light to be perfectly absorbed.
For the first time ever, astronomers have directly detected light from behind a supermassive black hole. The discovery proves Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity was right — again.
In groundbreaking new research, an international team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has developed a unique process for producing a quantum state that is part light and part matter.
Based on optical matter, new machines could be used to move and manipulate tiny particles
Physicists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the University of Central Florida have experimentally observed optical branched flow in liquid soap films.
The majority of stars in the universe will become luminous enough to blast surrounding asteroids into successively smaller fragments using their light alone, according to a University of Warwick astronomer
Harsh ultraviolet radiation suggests how hydrogen got ionized in the universe long ago
Turns out the key to making things lighter than air is…light!
We’re not always the same person.
