The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

The curious minds at What If investigate Earth orbiting the Sun at the speed of light, exploring the impossible physics and ...

Casimir cavities are mysterious spaces between microscopic metal plates in a vacuum. Areas of diminished energy between the plates cause them to push toward each other, as if trying to fill the ...

The curious minds at What If imagine the bizarre consequences if a marshmallow hit the Earth at the speed of light, revealing the explosive physics behind such a seemingly harmless object.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Scientists use distant gamma ray bursts to prove that light maintains its constant speed, reinforcing Einstein's theory.

When the universe first burst into being, all of space was a cosmic cauldron filled with a roiling, fiery liquid of ...

The technology industry is obsessed with the future. Many of our modern marvels are rooted in the legacy of Bell Labs, an ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space.

Are you speechless watching US figure skater Ilia Malinin on the ice? Science explains how it’s possible the Quad God can do ...

Modern physics relies on "Dark Energy," "Dark Matter," and over 20 arbitrary tuning parameters to explain the universe. A comprehensive AI-driven audit performed by Gemini Pro on 20 technical papers ...
