In 1862, James Clerk Maxwell published his famous Maxwell’s equations. This was at a time when humans were just starting to ...

Researchers find negative-time light, which could allow for time travel. An intriguing phenomenon in quantum mechanics made ...

Particle physics ... 100U experiment upgrades the COSINE-100 detector to improve the search for dark matter interactions using ultra-low background NaI(Tl) crystals. By enhancing light collection ...

Brenden Sener admits there are challenges to his project but argues that the ancient descriptions could still be accurate.

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of ...

Self-assembly or self-organization in molecular science refers to the phenomena where molecules spontaneously gather and form ...

That’s exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Sorbonne University in Paris.

Learn about the optical rotatum, a newfound structure of light that exhibits a spiral pattern linked with various parts of ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a surprising twist, literally, in how molecules organize themselves. By introducing tiny leftover fragments from previous assemblies, they discovered a way to flip ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have begun an ambitious project to study if living neurons can transmit light through their axons—the long, tail-like nerve fibers of neurons that resemble ...

A scientist gives an answer to a long-standing question in theoretical glass physics: what does it mean to be an order parameter for an inherently out-of-equilibrium system? Starting from first ...

A proposed experiment that would involve trapping atoms on a two-layered laser grid could be used to study the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity. Developed by physicists in Germany ...
