Predicted by Einstein and dismissed as undetectable, gravitational waves were finally heard in 2016. Now, with observatories ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Researchers successfully freeze light into a supersolid, a groundbreaking discovery with potential applications in quantum computing and energy transport.

For decades, he hid his time-travel obsession. Now, he is challenging the assumptions that underpin our universe.

Einstein had the opposite condition – hyperphantasia. His famous thought experiments regarding the speed of light and its relationship to time were intimately connected to an acute ability to ...

CU Boulder scientists created a quantum device that uses cold atoms and lasers to track 3D acceleration. In a new study, ...

Utilizing Spatially Resolved Dynamic Light Scattering (SR-DLS) technology, the NanoFlowSizer enables accurate ...

To test the limits, the researchers started by firing a powerful, ultrafast laser into the side of a volunteer’s head. The ...

"Our Bose-Einstein Condensate is a matter-wave pond made of atoms ... When the atoms snap back together, they form a unique pattern, just like the two beams of laser light zipping together but more ...

What began as a mathematical curiosity scorned by leading scientists has become the cornerstone of modern astrophysics, ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

According to Einstein, the energy of each packet would be proportional to the light’s frequency, and that suggested an easy way to test the idea: Point a light beam at a metal surface.
