The robot has also shown promising results, taking 125 unique measurements per hour in a 24-hour test. The precision and ...

Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other ...

Scientists from CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'. When you ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

The earliest light in the universe has been traveling across space since just after the Big Bang. Known as the cosmic ...

By enabling deep learning to run at the speed of light, this chip could allow edge devices to perform real-time data analysis ...

One valuable tool to help you measure material behavior during deformation and predict production results is digital image correlation (DIC). Using computational tools to measure 2D and 3D images of ...

From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

A new nanometer-scale measurement tool exploits the quantum properties of light for better precision and speed by Maddie Stover, University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering ...

Light travels so fast that when scientists began contemplating it, they had to invent a new method of measuring speed. Light speed is 186,000 miles/second (5.88 trillion miles in one year — one ...

But in that setup, you are actually measuring the two-way speed of light: the time it took to go one way, and then return to its starting point. Though it seems pretty safe to assume that light ...
