Physicists artificially slowed down time to reveal the bizarre Terrell-Penrose effect, a consequence of special relativity. This image from the experiment shows a sphere seemingly moving at 99.9 ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

The carbon filament used in Edison’s 1897 light bulb experiments generated the precise amount of heat needed to produce ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...

Sensitive imaging has revealed that living mice emit a faint visible glow that drops sharply once life ends. The finding ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

Since 2010, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been searching for high-energy neutrinos from space. In recent years, it has already provided important insights into the nature of these particles and ...

In a quiet laboratory, a team of atmospheric scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory recently gathered around a workstation to watch as little ...

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

The trend has little direct research, but studies on light, heat and relaxation show why it might help some people.
