A scientist, a jar of pickles and a power strip walk into a room. The punchline involves physics, glowing condiments and a ...

The biggest and best movie of the universe began production this week—at the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, rather ...

Opening moments of games can often feel long and slow, and may even be boring as the game must teach you how to play it first thing. They’re a necessary evil, but there's a new high bar, as the new ...

Processes in the X-ray interferometer: The path of a single photon (pink) passes through two slits simultaneously and spreads out behind them into a characteristic “interference pattern”. This pattern ...

Abstract: We present a novel method called NeTO, for capturing the 3D geometry of solid transparent objects from 2D images via volume rendering. Reconstructing transparent objects is a very ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Although people often say nothing travels faster than the speed of light, this cosmic speed limit only pertains to particles with information or mass ...

I test a series of light experiments to explore reflection, refraction, and optical illusions, demonstrating how light behaves in surprising and educational ways. MS NOW host details unexpected phone ...

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of the existence of a sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that had long ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...
