Researchers at the University of Sydney have cracked a long-standing problem in microchip-scale lasers by carving tiny "speed ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...

Scientists found a way to transform light into a solid form. They banded together and came up with an experiment that changed ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that ...

We can't see dark matter directly, so studying it pushes the boundaries of our creativity as scientists. How exciting, says ...

NASA has found a glow coming from a distant galaxay. This glow has left them baffled. It should not be where it is. The are ...

New research shows that the magnetic part of light actively shapes how light interacts with matter, challenging a ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through ...

They recreate how a camera would see objects traveling at 99.9% of the speed of light, revealing surprising relativistic ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...
