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 ...

Physicists tested the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox, which is at the heart of quantum theory, to measure light ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense ...

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 ...

If you wanted a midsize truck 10 years ago, your choices included an aging Toyota Tacoma or an even older Nissan Frontier ...

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 ...

Scientists have finally quantified the brain ’s speed limit in processing human thought, an advance that reveals why we are able to process only one thought at a time. The human body’s sensory ...
