An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

GENEVA — A pillar of physics — that nothing can go faster than the speed of light — appears to have been smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert ...

Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light. What is light? That is something that has plagued scientists for centuries. It behaves light a wave... and a ...

Quick, pick a side: Is light a wave or a particle? This question is best known for its power to set crowds of undergraduates a-tittering. But it’s more than a pop science brain-teaser. Scott Holmstrom ...

Interactions between tiny particles trapped in light are found to differ, depending on the light's shape, report scientists. Physical phenomena, such as particle behavior in higher order modes not ...

The speed of light is constant, or so textbooks say. But some scientists are exploring the possibility that this cosmic speed limit changes, a consequence of the nature of the vacuum of space. The ...
