New theoretical work suggests that the pattern of light emitted by atoms could be used to detect gravitational waves at ...

A plasma experiment succeeded in twisting light-like waves, and revealed a new, previously unknown rule of extreme physics.

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...

Explore 25 scientific discoveries that broke the laws of physics, from quantum entanglement to dark energy. Uncover mind-bending phenomena that redefined o ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons, quantum physics describes the behavior of the very smallest objects. Solar panels, LED lights, your mobile phone and MRI scanners in hospitals: all of these ...

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 ...
