like a crystal of light? Or will something else happen? It's very uncharted territory." Katherine Hignett is a reporter based in London. She currently covers current affairs, health and science.

These results, published today in Physical Review Letters, send cracks through a foundational pillar of modern physics—the theory of light and matter. It is also the first time that this type of ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different ...

Using physics-informed ... to variations in the light spectrum, which mirror the properties of the atmosphere such as chemical composition, temperature, and cloud cover. To be able to analyze ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can ... staff writer at Live Science. He covers physics and astronomy, among other ...

And physics is very strict about nothing moving faster than the speed of light. Or is it? While the laws of relativity forbid you and I from moving faster than light, the mathematics of relativity ...

two sets of rules in physics that have yet to play nicely after many decades. "This new definition preserves Einstein's postulate of constancy of the speed of light in vacuum even for superluminal ...

Scientists — 2 from Japan and 1 from the U.S. — have won the Nobel Prize in physics for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes — a new energy efficient and environment-friendly light ...

The trio devised methods for creating the tiniest slices of light. The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to ...
