I'll be honest: I didn't know that an iPhone was able to do a lidar scan. (The iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, and iPad Pro can all do it.) When I found out that my phone could, I became obsessed with scanning ...

The effect, first predicted over 60 years ago and regarding objects traveling near the speed of light, has been lent support ...

They recreate how a camera would see objects traveling at 99.9% of the speed of light, revealing surprising relativistic ...

The hyperdrive from Star Wars appears to depict an ultra-relativistic motion through space, extremely close to the speed of light. Under the laws of relativity, you neither reach nor exceed the speed ...

Since then, countless experiments have confirmed that light always travels at the same speed in a vacuum — about 300,000 ...

Imagine this: a tiny needle hurtling toward Earth at the speed of light. At first glance, it might sound like no big deal. After all, it’s just a needle. But in reality, a projectile moving this fast ...

Here, a calcite crystal is struck with a laser operating at 445 nanometers, fluorescing and displaying properties of birefringence. Unlike the standard picture of light breaking into individual ...

The principle of relativity, as initially described by Galileo, posits that the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of an observer's relative motion. Einstein's special relativity ...

I don’t know, ask Erwin Schrödinger. He was a relative of mine on my mother’s side. He told her mum, but she couldn’t understand it either. We’ve been in the dark ever since. The laws of the universe ...

While humans and classical computers must perform tensor operations step by step, light can do them all at once.

Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated single-shot tensor computing at the speed of light –– a remarkable step ...

If a very large disc on a frictionless, horizontal spindle were gradually rotated faster and faster, what would happen as the ...
